S.S. Niagara A deck scene from the contemporary press entitled "The Niagara in the Gulf Stream," probably circa 1880. This drawing indicates that Niagara and many other ships of this period were designed primarily for fast and safe transportation and only incidentally for comfort and recreation.

In addition a watercolor of Niagara by Frederick S. Cozzens, probably drawn in the early 1880s (not in 1898), may be viewed (in 2015) at landandseacollection.com. The NHHC image reproduced on this page, NH 44507, is of the wrong USS Niagara, but the other information is for the correct ship. |
