Can you please tell me who were the 7 people who started the SteamShip Historical Society of America back in 1935? I remember them in Staten Island in the ’60’s
Dear J. Fred Rodriguez Jr.
I asked the SSHSA and they pointed me to a pdf about the Founders, the link is here: http://www.sshsa.org/media/SSHSAFounders.pdf
The first line answers your question, I quote.
“The Steamship Historical Society of America was founded in 1935 by Jay Allen, William King
Covell, Elwin M. Eldredge, Larry Gaillard, R. Loren Graham, Robert McRoberts, Jr., and Edwin A. Patt.
Before 1935, the history of steam vessels was not well-documented.”
