WILLIAM ROBERT DAVIS
WILLIAM ROBERT DAVIS (MASSACHUSETTS, 1952-), "NEWPORT", A PORTRAIT OF THE SIDEWHEELER NEWPORT IN NEW YORK HARBOR, 1865., OIL ON CANVAS, 18" X 34". FRAMED 24" X 40".WILLIAM ROBERT DAVIS, Massachusetts, 1952-, "Newport", a portrait of the sidewheeler Newport in New York Harbor, 1865. Signed lower right "William R. Davis". Ship identified on frame plaque. Titled on label verso. Dimensions: Oil on canvas, 18" x 34". Framed 24" x 40". Provenance: Notes:The Newport was part of the Fall River Line, a combination steamboat and railroad system between New York City and Boston that ran from 1847 to 1937. For many years it was the preferred route of travel between the two cities as the line's steamboats were some of the most advanced and luxurious of their day, described as "floating palaces". The line was the subject of a popular 1913 song "On the Old Fall River Line".The Fall River Line originated with Colonel Richard Borden, a Fall River businessman who had interests in the iron and textile industries and operated steamboats between Fall River, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island as early as 1827. He began regular steamboat service between New York and Fall River in 1847, added substantially to the fleet, and sold the line in 1863 to the Boston, Newport and New York Steamboat Company. Successive owners would continue to expand the route and add additional vessels, including the Newport in 1863.Several U.S. presidents and the high society traveled aboard the Fall River Line, including Grant, Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt, Vanderbilt, Astor and Rockefeller, but the middle class was also able to experience the gilded age of travel aboard the steamboats.The affordability of the railroad, the onset of the mainstream automobiles and the creation of the Cape Cod Canal factored into the demise of the Fall River Line in 1937.
