STEAMSHIP COMPANY PASSES

BALTIMORE STEAM PACKET

Bay Line, 1897 |
Steamship Pass No. 400,

$95.00 |
The Baltimore
Steam Packet Company,
which was also known as the Old
Bay Line,
was an American steamship
line from 1840 to 1962, providing overnight steamboat service
on the Chesapeake
Bay,
primarily between Baltimore, Maryland,
and Norfolk,
Virginia.
Called a "packet"
for the mail packets carried on government mail contracts, the term in
the 19th century came to mean a steamer line operating on a regular,
fixed daily schedule between two or more cities. By the time the
venerable packet line ceased operation in 1962 after 122 years of
existence, it was the last surviving overnight steamship passenger
service in the United States.
In
addition to regularly calling on Baltimore and Norfolk, the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company also provided freight, passenger and vehicle
transport to Washington,
D.C., Old
Point Comfort, and Richmond,
Virginia, at various times during its history. The Old Bay Line, as
it came to be known by the 1860s, was acclaimed for its genteel service
and fine dining, serving Chesapeake Bay specialties. Walter
Lord, famed author of A
Night to Remember (and
whose grandfather had been the packet line's president from 1893 to
1899), mused that its reputation for excellent service was attributable
to "... some magical blending of the best in the North and the
South, made possible by the Company's unique role in 'bridging' the two
sections ... the North contributed its tradition of mechanical
proficiency, making the ships so reliable; while the South contributed
its gracious ease".[2]
One
of the Old Bay Line's steamers, the former President
Warfield, later became famous as the Exodus ship
of book and movie fame, when Jewish refugees
from war-torn Europe sailed aboard her in 1947 in an unsuccessful
attempt to emigrate to Palestine.
