COMMONWEALTH: 1909 - Intro brochure w/ interiors for grand coastal steamer

Product Description

Fall River Line - A twenty-page intro brochure with interior photos issued at the time of the COMMONWEALTH's 1909 maiden voyage.

The boat was the largest, grandest, and last of the famous Fall River night boats from New York to Fall River, Massachusetts, from where a railroad line connected to Boston.

Photos show the Quarter Deck Saloon, Grand Saloon, Grand Stairway, Empire Saloon, Gallery Saloon, Adams Saloon, Dining Room Stairway, Dining Room, Cafe, Writing Room, and a Louis XV bedroom.

The COMMONWEALTH with all her elegance was a popular choice for high society. A saying at the time went, "If you went on a trip to New York and didn't travel the Fall River Line, you simply didn't go at all."

But times change. The advent of better rail connections and the rise of the automobile brought an end to the Fall River Line. It closed in 1937 and the remaining boats, including COMMONWEALTH, were towed to the scrapyard.

Very good condition.
