Description
| Item Description: | "This volume is part of an intensive study of the history of the port of New York from its beginnings to the present. Since the scope of this present work had stretched beyond the space, which could be allotted to the packet lines in my forthcoming more general study of New York port, 1815-1860, it has seemed best to bring out this specialized study first."--Preface. |
