. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the bustling maritime scene of late 19th century America with this wood engraving print. Captured in exquisite detail, it showcases a fleet of excursion steamers navigating their way through the tranquil inlet towards Long Island's picturesque Rockaways. In an era when vacations were a luxury reserved for the privileged few, these majestic steamboats played a vital role in bringing New Yorkers closer to nature's beauty and offering respite from the city's hustle and bustle. Whether embarking on a day trip or opting for a longer stay on the oceanfront, these vessels became synonymous with leisurely escapes. The intricate craftsmanship of this American wood engraving transports us to an age where transportation was as much about elegance as it was about functionality. The steamboats' grandeur is evident in their towering smokestacks and ornate exteriors that exude opulence. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of how far we have come while cherishing our connection to the past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there is still something enchanting about escaping to coastal paradises like Rockaway – places where time seems to slow down and worries dissipate into salty sea breezes. This Granger Collection print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind its creation but also invites us to embark on our own
