Could someone please tell me where I might look to find out what New York City pier numbers were used by the passenger and shipping lines? I am especially interested in: Lompart & Holt (L&H) from 1890 until 1920, and, Red Star Line from 1910 until 1960, and, White Star Line in 1914. Thank you, Dan in Pennsylvania, USA

Dan, From ads in the New York Times: 1890 - Norddeutscher Lloyd was using the pier at the foot of 2d-st, Hoboken; Anchor Line pier 41 N.R.; Cunard pier 40 N.R.; White Star from White Star dock foot of West 10th St.; Guion pier 38 N.R. foot of King St; Inman and Royal Mail Pier 43 adjoining Christopher St.; Pacific Mail from Pier foot of Canal St. N.R.; State Line pier at foot of Columbia Stores, Brooklyn; Hamburg-American from Hamburg Docks, Hoboken; 1910 - Red Star Line Pier 14 N.R. The White Star Line was using pier 48 and 49 N.R. that same year while Cunard was using Pier 51-52-56 North River. American Line was at Pier 15 N.R.; Atlantic Transport Line Pier 39 N.R. 1899 - Red Star pier 59 N.R.; White Star pier 60 and 61 N.R.; American pier 62 N.R.; Atlantic Transport pier 58 N.R.; Cunard foot of West 14th St. N.R.; United Fruit Co. pier 16 E.R. off Fulton St.; French Line pier 57 N.R. foot of West 14th St 1914 - White Star pier 59 and 60 N.R. 19th & 20th Sts.; Red Star Pier 61 N.R., 21st St.; French Line, pier 57 N.R., West 15th St.; Cunard piers foot of 14th St. N.R.; American pier 62 N.R., 23rd St; Atlantic Transport pier 58 N.R. 16th St.; 1920 - Ward Line used Pier 17, Brooklyn; Cunard was in a dispute about the pier it used and the pier at West Forty-sixth street (which they were using) was given to the Orient Line and a new one erected at West Forty-eight St. (rental on the pier was $360,000 per year); Can find no mention of the pier for Lamport and Holt and tried many years.
