Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. SPLENDOR SAILED THE SOUND NEW HAVEN RAILROAD & FALL RIVER LINE 1989 DJ MYLAR. Here is another of the books about maritime history or closely related. This one is titled: "Splendor Sailed the SoundThe New Haven Railroad and the Fall River Line," b…y George H. Foster & Peter C. Weiglin. This very large hard cover book (8 ¼ x 11 inches, 384 pages) was published by Mid-State Associates and the Potentials Group, dated 1989, with no mention of edition. The book is bound in simulated navy blue covers with silver gilt titles on the spine and protected by a pictorial dust jacket, itself encased in a mylar sleeve. The book is amply illustrated throughout with vintage b&w photos of the vessels plying the Long Island Sound routes between Boston and New York. Apparently, they were known in their heyday as "the finest inland waterway vessels afloat." Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket shows some very minor edge wear, now presumably halted by the application of the mylar sleeve. That sleeve, however, is taped to the covered and I have chosen not to remove it. The hard covers, therefore, can't fully be seen but from what I can see, they appear clean, bright and unbumped. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and plates are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

Profusely illustrated with 450 large format black-and-white photographs and illustrations, a color nautical frontispiece; and photographic front and rear endpapers. "Comprehensively and painstakingly researched over a quarter of a century." - from the rear outer jacket "This book is a photographic and text celebration of an American institution. In their day, the Fall River Line steamboats were known around the world as the finest inland waterway vessels afloat. They attracted this attention despite the regularity of their service, day after day and night after night, between New York City and ports on and beyond Long Island Sound (of which Fall River MA was only one). Only the fog occasionally impeded movement, or caused collisions and groundings; the miracle is that, particularly in the days before wireless and radar, the Sound fleet completed its appointed rounds with as good a safety record as it had. This, of course, made an accident, when it did occur, all the more lurid and sensational. The heavy passenger and freight traffic between New York and New England contributed to the growth of the region. The classic passenger journey was between New York and Boston, via luxury steamboat between New York and New London CT, Stonington CT, or Fall River MA, and a connection train to Boston. Further, when the Vanderbilts and their set went to Newport RI for the summer, the boats were the Only Way To Go. In freight traffic, the Sound saw the beginning of express service, the beginning of containerized freight, and the activities of the New Haven and other railroads to compensate for the notoriously poor rail access to New York City. Here too are the early days of some financial and business titans who were destined for bigger things: "Commodore" Cornelius Vanderbilt, J. Pierpont Morgan, Jim Fisk, Jay Gould, Phineas T. Barnum, and others, including the captains and sailors who conquered time and the elements on a daily basis." - from the inner front jacket flap.
