Bridgeport Connecticut John H. Starin New Haven Line Shipwreck 1909 Real Photo Postcard

Starin's New Haven Line was an integral part of John H. Starin's extensive transportation network, which dominated steamboat services across Long Island Sound and the Hudson River during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This postcard likely captures the grounding of the steamboat *Glen Island* (also known as *John H. Starin*) on April 28, 1904. The vessel ran aground near the mouth of the Housatonic River in Connecticut, a significant incident for the line operating between New York City and New Haven.
