If you are interested in the Fall River Line ships this looks like a great book for sale on eBay.  Starting bid is $24.99.  I'm not the seller.

"BOOKLET - DATED 1902  entitled:
"80 PHOTOGRAPHIC VIEWS OF THE FALL RIVER LINE
VIEWS OF FALL RIVER, EAST AND NORTH RIVERS, LONG ISLAND SOUND,
AND NEWPORT"

Oh!  That was SO cool!
I think our uncle was at the Navy yard at some point.
He is pushing 75 or so and I can send him these NY photos!
Thanks

Here are two more books about the Fall River Line. I recently searched the on-line catalog of the Connecticut public libraries looking for them but without much luck.

Floating Palaces: New England to New York on the Old Fall River Line, by Roger Williams McAdam, Mowbray Co., c. 1972

Splendor Sailed the Sound: The New Haven Railroad and the Fall River Line, by George H. Foster, Potentials Group; Mid-State Associates, c. 1989, ISBN 0962467405

OH!  That sounds so sumptious!  Big fancy ships and private RR cars!  I'd love to tour either of those.  They sure knew how to travel back then.  Seems romantic!
