Sabin 90581 Housed in a custom blue morocco clamshell title in gilt on spine. The burning of the ferryboat New Jersey occurred on March 15 1856 when the vessel caught fire while crossing the Hudson River from Manhattan to Jersey City. The disaster claimed 50 lives and drew widespread public attention. Captain William B. Reed who was in command of the ferry faced scrutiny over the safety measures and the crew's response to the rapidly spreading flames. Despite efforts to save passengers the wooden ferryboat was quickly engulfed and many either perished in the fire or drowned trying to escape. The tragedy highlighted the dangers of steamboat travel in the mid-19th century and spurred calls for improved fire safety regulations on passenger vessels.<br /> From the collection of Charles Fleishmann III with his bookplate laid-in. Fleishmann III was a lifelong traveler collector and philanthropist who lived in Cincinnati Ohio. Hindman Auctions November 2023. Published by the Author unknown
