Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cradle Days of New York The programme of events for the Hudson-Fulton celebration, which will begin on Saturday, September 25, and last until October 3, and on that day shift to the upper Hudson towns and cities, is as follows: Saturday, September 25. The American and foreign naval vessels will rendezvous in New York harbor, and will be one of ten squadrons. The first will consist of seagoing and coastwise merchant vessels; then will come steamboats plying in inland waters of the United States, including ferryboats; steam yachts, commanded by W. Butler Duncan, Jr., will be next in line, followed by motor boats under the command of J. Adolph Mollenhauer. The fifth squadron will be made up of tugs and steam lighters, followed by the sixth, consisting of sailing craft. Police boats and the craft devoted to the preservation of the public safety, such as wrecking, fire and hospital boats, will make up the seventh squadron, and then will come the escort squadron, including such Government craft as torpedo boats and submarines, naval militia vessels, steam launches, and cutters in the Government service, escorting the Half Moon and the Clermont, under the command of Commander R. P. Forshew of the Second Battalion of the Naval Militia. The patrol squadron, the ninth by number, is to be made up of vessels in the revenue service and other Government, State or private vessels authorized by the War Department to do patrol duty. The final squadron will be the scout squadron, and will consist of fast steamers and motor boats detailed to do dispatch boat duty. At 10.30 a. m. the escort squadron will assemble with the replicas of the Half Moon and Clermont off Constable Point, in the Kill von Kull, and will manoeuvre with them along the Staten Island and Bay Ridge shores. The formation of the various other squadrons will begin between 12.30 and 1 o´clock, and at 1.15 the whole fleet will start up the bay to the Hudson River, the escort division, with the replicas of the Half Moon and Clermont in the center. The fleet will steam slowly up to Forty-second street, then pass to the west between the war vessels and the Jersey shore, the warship line extending to 175th street - its northern end. Then it will recross the river and head downstream on the New York side to 110th street. There the official reception of the Half Moon and Clermont will be celebrated with appropriate ceremonies.
