New?
What an immaculate-looking ship is the "Chester W. Chapin!" Quick, let's invent the term "shipshape."
Boat Ride
It looks like it could be a very pleasant boat ride up the Sound to New Haven or Bridgeport.
Chester W, Chapin
This steamer was named for Chester W. Chapin (December 16, 1798 – June 10, 1883), U.S. Representative from Massachusetts (March 4, 1875-March 3, 1877). The ship was of the twin-screw type, 312 feet in length, 64 feet wide, with a tonnage of 1,882. It was built by the Maryland Steel Company of Sparrow's Point, Maryland, for the New Haven Steamboat Company in 1899.
Notice
The piles of ballast stones near the bottom of the photo, as well as the railcar float to the left of Pier 20.
Roll Out The Barrell(s)
Nice photo. The "Chester W. Chapin" looks like a nice craft to take a ride up L. I. Sound on. It's rare to see a staved barrell these days. There sure are a lot piled up there on the dock.
[Evidently they were full of L's. - Dave]
Fab Photo!
What a great photo! I love to visit New York, and every time I do, I go to Brooklyn and I walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. I am always amazed at t his amazing structure and this is a wonderful photo!
Wow.
I can almost smell it, man. Nice job once again.
