ALEXANDER HAMILTON STEAMSHIP
Alexander Hamilton was
a steamer built for the Hudson River Day Line in 1924
and named after Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. She
was a beautiful vessel known to many on the Hudson River
as the "White Swan". She literally 'glided' along the
river and her sleek appearance was indeed graceful,
swan-like.
The Alexander Hamilton steamboat was the last of the
great Day Line sidewheels, and the last of her kind to
ply the Hudson River. Originally plying the Hudson River
between New York City and Albany, by the 1950s steamboat
Alexander Hamilton's route was reduced to Poughkeepsie,
and by 1970 to Bear Mountain.
Alexander Hamilton ceasing her career in 1971 with her
final run to Bear Mountain in the Lower Hudson Valley.
It was the end of an era that began 164 years ago with a
paddlewheeler called the Clermont. Her 48 years of
service served well over 5 million passengers between
Albany and New York City.
Alexander Hamiltonwas
added to the National Register of Historic Places on
March 25, 1977.
