The Hudson River Day Line was one of the best steamboat lines of its time,
famous for luxury, speed and high-class
trips. Seeing the Hudson River from aboard a Day Line steamer was the thing to
do when visiting New York and America, a vacation wouldn't have been the same
without this experience.
Dignitaries from abroad were more often than not
taken for a trip on a Hudson River steamboat, for which the local river
travelers were very proud, and these prestigious vessels were considered in
high regard as an asset to New York City, Albany and many places in between.
These magnificent craft ferried passengers up and down the Hudson River for
more than one hundred and fifty years, and the regular steamboat service of the
Hudson River Day Line between Albany and New did not cease until 1948 when, on
September 13, the Day Line steamboat Robert Fulton undertook its final
voyage from Albany to New York City.

Day Line brochure called Hudson River by Daylight, which was sent out to the
public in 1910.
