The Steamer Pilgrim
on the right was owned by the Fall River Line. She was
launched in 1883 and was 390 feet in overall length. The
smaller steamer on the left was the Rhode Island. She
was launched in the 1870s and owned by the
Stonington Line. The Post Card was canceled and sent in
1919. I am not sure of the time period depicted in the
picture. I did find out that a side wheeler named Rhode Island
went aground and was wrecked in 1880. |
