Beschreibung

Fair. Verso repairs to separations at fold intersections. Area of reinstatement along left border between 'G' and 'H' within the inset. Close left margin. Location index on verso. Size 22.25 x 16.25 Inches. This is a 1903 Clyde Steamship Company map of Florida. Overprinted red dashed lines mark the Clyde Steamship Company's routes out of Jacksonville north to Charleston, New York, and Boston, as well as the St. John's River Line from the coast inland south along the river to Sanford. An inset map along the left border traces the company's many routes from their terminal in Florida to destinations along the coast. A second inset map, in the lower left, details the Florida panhandle from the Alabama border to Washington County. The Clyde Steamship Company William P. Clyde (October 11, 1839 - November 18, 1923) founded the Clyde Steamship Company in 1874. By 1882, it operated routes between New York and Florida, Key West, Havana, and New Orleans. By 1899, its network had expanded to include routes south from Boston, Providence, New York, and Philadelphia, as well as a St. John River line to Jacksonville, Florida. By 1902, Clyde Steamship Company operated tri-weekly departures from Jacksonville to New York. Charles W. Morse's Consolidated Steamship Lines purchased the Clyde Steamship Company in 1907, but that company collapsed in 1908. The Atlantic, Gulf, and West Indies Steamship Lines took over the Clyde Line in 1911, but the Clyde Line name and flag continued to be used until 1932, when the Clyde Line was merged with the Mallory Line to form the Clyde-Mallory Line.
