Swiss lake steamer operations
Ted Miles:
Carl,
Your class trip would have been aboard the Hudson River Day Line's side wheel steam boat Alexander Hamilton. She was the last of a long line of Day Line river boats. She was retired in the late 1960s. Plans to turn her into a floating restaurant failed to happen when the boat was wrecked in a winter storm back around 1975.
Ted Miles, fan of old things that move.

I remember it was the Day Line - but after all this time the boat's name escapes me.
It has been overwritten or in a few years I will remember (probably because you said so) :D

Ted, in 1953 it could also have been the Robert Fulton as that wasn’t taken out of service until 1954.

It had a huge walking beam - I remember that, Though I remember most of the boats
had Walking Beams.

If it had a walking beam it was “The Robert Fulton.” The Hamilton was not a walking beam boat.
