Administrative Information
Acquisition Information Steamboats [Ships, Boats, and Vessels] is a portion of the Business Ephemera Series of the Warshaw Collection of Business Americana, Accession AC0060 purchased from Isadore Warshaw in 1967. Warshaw continued to accumulate similar material until his death, which was donated in 1971 by his widow, Augusta. For a period after acquisition, related materials from other sources (of mixed provenance) were added to the collection so there may be content produced or published after Warshaw's death in 1969. This practice has since ceased.
Related Materials Several other Warshaw Subject Categories may have closely related material such as Submarines and Transportation. For casual and recreational boating see Boats and Boating Equipment and Yachts. Other subject categories that may have related materials include: Canals, Dredging, Engines, Menus, Railroads (point of common transportation transfer), and Tours. .

Processing Information In November 2016, the name of this category was modified from "Steamboats" to "Steamboats [Ships, Boats, and Vessels] to reflect the scope of the content and the integration of two, now obsolete, categories: Sailboats and Ships/Shipping, although a few items leisure type items were moved to Yachts.
In 2016, with funding provided by the Smithsonian Institution's Collections Care and Preservation Fund, the Archives Center at the National Museum of American History implemented the use of minimal level processing standards to increase information about and facilitate access to more of our collections.
For this subject, minimal processing included arrangement to the folder level, based on prior processing and preservation action, with retention of the pre-existing arrangement when possible, if applicable. Otherwise, an order was imposed by the Processing Archivist. Some materials were consolidated to eliminate excess bulk but items within folders were not arranged further. The guide may or may not include a more refined list of folder contents. Nonarchival housing was replaced for long-term stability, but staples and other fasteners have not all been removed.
Minimal level processing and machine-readable finding aid completed by Nicole Blechynden, 2017 February.

Scope and Contents
Minimally covers the terminus of the wind-powered (sail) era and more fully documents the peak of the engine (steam) era of commercial cargo and passenger vesselsk, including freight and dockage services, maintenance and provisioning, ferry service, navigation (tug and tow) assistance, plus leisure cruising and touring. There is not a significant amount of material on battle or war ships. Includes both short distance routes such as lakes, rivers, and islets, and longer trans-oceanic crossings.
Documents within the collection consist of handbills, broadsides, leaflets, books, business cards, advertisements, insurance forms, wreck reports, passenger lists, baggage tags, freight manifests, rate
Page 2 of 54 Warshaw Collection of Business Americana Subject Categories: Steamboats [Ships, Boats, and Vessels] NMAH.AC.0060.S01.01.Steamboats cards, correspondence on letterhead stationery, booklets, newspaper clippings, postcards, menus, periodicals, manuals, photographs, engravings, woodcuts, sketches, bills of lading, receipts, catalogues, ledgers, journals, purchase orders, broadsides, brochures, custom forms, schedules, shipping and receiving documents, early steam guides, timetables, lithographs, announcements, etc. There are no navigational nautical maps. There is very little in the way of international import/export records. However, domestic and North American freight services are well-covered through invoices, bills of lading, manifests, and receipts for goods and services.
Some materials cover the history and development of steamships, particularly in the latter half of the nineteenth century with the iron screw replacing the wooden paddle steamer in the 1850s. The late 1860s brought the compound engine, which led to the steamship, previously used for the conveyance of mails and passengers, to compete with the sailing vessel in the carriage of cargo for long voyages. The 1870s brought improvements in accommodation for the passenger, with the midship saloon, conveniences in state-rooms, and covered access to smoke rooms and ladies cabins.
Ownership of specific lines and vessels was very fluid throughout shipping history, including the renaming of vessels. Mergers, dissolution, and absorption of fleets were frequent. Thus, researchers should independently seek out a more detailed history for any entity of particular interest.
The general maritime business series focuses on good and services related to maritime operations such as repair, shipbuilding, parts, ticket agents, chandlers, groceries, coal supply, dockage, wharfs/marinas, etc.
Operation records of named vessels contains primarily bills of lading and similar receipts for the movement of material goods or in-water services such as tow and tug assistance.
The largest series covering shipping lines and conglomerates offers a wide assortment of miscellaneous, nonexhaustive operation records for cargo and passenger lines and corporations, typically those with multiple holdings. These documents may include receipts, bills of lading, correspondence, and financial ledgers, plus promotional material for services and routes offered. Passenger sailings and luxury cruise documentation may contain menus, passenger lists, itineraries, shore excursion information, souveniers such as luggage tags, ticket stubs, and postcards. See also the subject category Menus, for additional examples of passenger and cruise ship menus.
When not associated with any of the above, general examples of materials related to the industry have been by arranged by their material type such as images, reports, and serial publications. More formal documentation, especially legal and reports, can be found here.
Narrative type materials related to lore, history, and building and design specifications have been sorted by subject. A scarce amount of material covers ships used for military service. Likewise, there are a few examples of maritime related material from the art world, mostly in the form of catalogues for exhibits or auction of paintings and scale models.
A note on vessel names: those used as contract carriers of mail and when in service, were entitled to unique prefix designations such as Royal Mail Ship (RMS.), otherwise, the ship name may be preceded by the more generic S.S. for single-screw steamer or steamship, SV for sailing vessel, PS for paddle steamer, RV for research vessel or similar type prefix. USS is the standard for the United States Navy commissioned ships while in commission, with HMS used for His/Her Majesty's Ship of the British Royal Navy.
Some of the major lines/companies represented in the collection include: American Line, American Steamship Company, Anchor Line, Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, Cunard-Anchor Line, Cunard Line, Cunard Steam Ship Company, Limited, Cunard White Star Line, Eastern Steamship Lines, Furness, Withy & Company, Hamburg American Line (HAPAG) / Hamburg Amerika Linie, Holland America Line (N.A.S.M. / HAL), Inman Line, International Mercantile Marine Company (IMM), International Navigation

Container Listing
Business Records and Marketing Material, 1777-1965 The history of water-based transportation related companies is complex in that vessels, lines, and branding contain many joint ventures, mergers, and consolidations. Routes are often incorporated into names and brands, so there is often one or more companies that operated lines with very similar names, but having no business association whatsoever. In addition, there were a myriad of independent operators owning a single vessel or a small fleet. Many companies used name derivatives. Researchers are advised that sorting errors and disassociation of related entities may be present and the researcher should review all sections of the guide or perform a keyword search to help identify possible relevant material.
General Maritime Businesses, 1777-1943 Contains general receipts for goods and services including but not limited to: brokers, freight and forwarding agents, packet agents, ticketing, fuel suppliers (coal), carpenters, caulkers, dry docking, repair, riggers and rigging, shipwrights, hardware, galley, cabin outfitters, chandlery, groceries, provisions, engineers, pumps, blocks, spar makers, shipbuilders, power capstans, engines, steering apparatus, winches, joiners, furnace grates, anchors, chain cables, bunting, submarine metallic compounds, paints and painting, sail makers, harbor and ballast, windlass, wharfage, and tug and tow operations.
When agents represent one or more lines or routes, they are filed by their business name or proprietorship in this subseries rather than with the line(s) they represent. Folders in this subseries are marked BUS.
Exception: Several agent files have a small volume of bills of lading. To provide an example of business operations from the agent perspective, in a few instances these have been kept together under the agent name, rather than sorted by the vessel.

Shipping Lines/Conglomerates, circa 1830-1965 Locations served, line names, and vessels in fleet have been noted when available to aid in those researching by geographical and name parameters, although these details should not be considered complete and exhaustive as other locations and routes may have also been served. None of the supplemental information should be considered exhaustive as the materials represent only a sampling of operations records and advertising produced by the companies listed.
Materials may include promotional and marketing circulars, bills of lading, receipts for services, time tables and schedules, price lists, correspondence, tickets, baggage tags, company history, menus, passenger lists, travel and tour guides, etcetera. Some effort has been made to identify certain items when present, such as passenger lists.
These folders are marked LINES. Arranged alphabetically by company or line in bulk folders; material within each folder is not ordered. Companies with significant brand recognition or a volume of material have been foldered individually.
Some documents have been affixed together and contain receipts for multiple lines; these have been foldered separately in Bundled Documents at the end of the subseries.

Cunard Steam Ship Company Limited Cunard has a long, well-documented but complex history that researchers should explore independently.
A few time-line points: was established in 1840 as the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company. In 1879, re-organized as the Cunard Steamship Company Ltd. In 1934, merged with chief rival White Star Line to form Cunard-White Star Line. In 1949, reverted to the name Cunard Line.
Multiple name variants exist and locations world-wide were served. Early fleets included wooden hulls and paddle wheels. Fleets were numerous, renamings were common, and select ships were pressed into service in war-time eras. Some of the more well-known ships include the Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Caronia, Mauretania, Lusitania.

Box 8, Folder 2 White Star Line, 1875-1939 The Cunard branded White Star Line history dates to 1845. It has operated Royal and United States Mail Steamers at various points. The line has been through many mergers and transitions with multiple name varients. Circa 1870, it was absorbed by the formation of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, which began operation in 1871, with the fleet of Oceanic (I), Atlantic, Baltic, Republic, Celtic, and Adriatic. Later, in 1902, the White Star Line was acquired by the International Mercantile Marine Company (IMM) and transitioned again 1927, when it was purchased by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (RMSPC). That ownership was short-lived when in 1932 Royal Mail Lines Limited took over the ships of RMSPC. Finally, in 1934, the merger between White Star and Cunard resulted in the Cunard-White Star Limited, which reverted to the name Cunard in 1949.
White Star was known for its naming convention of ending in -ic such as: Britannic (I), Germanic, Teutonic, Majestic (I), Oceanic (II), Cedric, Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic (II), Majestic, Homeric, Oceanic (III), Britannic (III), Georgic.
