Context

The Plant Steamship Line was established by Henry B. Plant in 1885 and associated with Plant's Belleview Hotel. It originally consisted of a steamship line running from Tampa to Havana and Key West, and eventually grew into an extensive network of railroad and steamship routes. The Mallory Steamship Line was founded in the 1860s by Charles Henry Mallory of Mystic. It formally merged with the Clyde Steamship Company in 1932 to form the Clyde-Mallory Line. The lines offered service from New York to Florida and were associated with Henry B. Plant's Belleview Hotel.
