Description

Cyanotype with black and white enlargement, photograph of the passenger paddle wheel steamer CONNECTICUT, owned by the Providence & Stonington Steamship Co. Given to the Society by Harry Northup before his death. With note: "A view of the CONNECTCIUT, another Stonington steamer. Notice she had twin stacks. The Hog frames are quite evident in the picture. From reports that I have read, it was said this vessel was rather cranky to operate. I don't know if it was engine trouble or handling in a seaway. But all told it was a very handsome vessel."
