| 2 | 8888.0082.0000.00 | documents | Baltimore Steam Packet Company Collection (1920-19 | Range, Cir 01/01/1920 - 12/31/1946 | Baltimore Steam Packet Company Collection (1920-1946):The Baltimore Steam Packet Company collection is composed of sets of letters and telegrams bound in folders by topic, and stamped on the outside with a catalog number. The material spans a twenty-six year period from 1920 through 1946 and deals with the everyday operations of a large ferry service including accidents, repairs, buying and selling equipment and property, complying with government regulations, handling employee requests for raises and passes, and two attempts at being bought out. Additionally, the Great Depression hit the company hard with a loss in freight traffic and mounting maintenance expenses evident throughout the collection. Most of the material is internal correspondence from both within the Baltimore Steam Packet Company and the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, its principal owner. The collection is organized chronologically and retains the company's numbering system and folder labels, though not in their original sequence. See also MS 19 - Baltimore Steam Packet Company Records (1867-1962)Background Information (From MS 19)At its end in 1962, the Baltimore Steam Packet Company (Old Bay Line) was the oldest steamboat company operating in the United States. The company was incorporated in December 1839 "for the purpose of employing one or more steamboats to navigate the Chesapeake Bay and its tributary streams for the conveyance of passengers and the transportation of merchandise and other articles." The company started with four vessels purchased secondhand running between Baltimore and Portsmouth. In 1841 the company built the ill-fated Medora which blew up and sank on its trial passage. In 1851, to meet competition, OBL bought the majority of stock in the reorganized Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad. The same year the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad purchased a controlling interest in OBL. In the ante-bellum period OBL ran a fleet of new steamboats "Second to none." During the Civil War the company maintained a service between Baltimore and Old Point Comfort. After the Civil War the carriage of freight became increasingly important. The company started employing freight-only boats. New iron-hulled steamboats with screw propulsion began to replace wooden sidewheelers. In the 1870s the company purchased a controlling interest in the Powhatan Line to meet competition on the York River. Previously, the Leary Line was bought out in 1867. Disasters which befell some of the boats included the burning of the New Jersey in 1870, the Louisiana rammed and sunk in 1874, and the Virginia in collision in 1890 and catching fire in 1919. In 1898 a fire destroyed buildings and freight in Baltimore in addition to early records of the line. Fire caused damage in 1904 and again in 1911. The 1890s were the heyday of OBL, as it was for many steamboat companies. However, in 1900 Seaboard Air Line Railway acquired the entire capital stock of OBL. The company continued to prosper and in 1910 Sunday sailings were added due to the increasing amount of perishable food movements. On January 1, 1918 the U.S. Government took over the management of all railroad and steamboat lines and combined the operation of the Old Bay Line and Chesapeake Steamship Co. under the direction of Kay Compton, president of the latter line. This control lasted until March 1, 1920. Each line kept separate books and accounts. During this time law required that two separate accounts be kept, corporate accounts for use by the company and federal accounts for use by the Federal Auditor. During the remainder of the twentieth century the company's future would continue to decline as passengers and freight business was taken over by the automobile and truck. In 1941 OBL absorbed the Chesapeake Steamship Co., and thereby acquired the steamers City of Norfolk, City of Richmond, and Yorktown. But that same year the War Shipping Administration requisitioned the State of Maryland, State of Virginia, and, in 1942, the Yorktown and President Warfield. President Warfield and Yorktown sailed in convoy to England on September 21, 1942. In 1947 the Warfield was used to run Jewish immigrants to Palestine as the Exodus 1947. By 1957 the Washington - Norfolk route was discontinued and the company was operating the steamers City of Richmond, City of Norfolk, and District of Columbia. During this time the company faced a number of strikes and the loss of some leased pier facilities. Finally on April 13, 1962 there occurred the last sailing and the OBL closed its doors.
