The Alexander Hamilton was still operating in the late 1960 as far north as Poughkepsie? I know I went to the City and went as far as West Point. Shot several rolls of Ektachrome (which when I last checked about 8 years ago) are still in good shape. Yes, boats were large, color scheme as I remember was white and green with a cream/tan funnel. The Hamilton was side wheeler as I remember and you could look through a porthole and see the wheel. It was also possible to see some of the mechainicals of the massive steam engines (which I believe were from Scotland) I do remember years ago there was a book published about the Day Line.
