Description	Port stern view of the steamer Naugatuck at a repair shop being converted from freighter to excursion steamer. The steamer Block Island can be seen at left.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Naugatuck was built in Chester, Pennsylvania, 1898. Her former name was Allan Joy. She was rebuilt at Newport News, Virginia in 1899 and rebuilt at New Haven, in 1900. As a Bridgeport Line/New England Steamship Company vessel, and renamed in 1905, Naugatuck ran between Bridgeport and New York until 1920. She was sold to Sound Steamship Lines in 1935, and was an excursion steamer as well as making runs between Providence and Block Island. The steamer Block Island was built by Robert Palmer & Sons for the New London Steamboat Co. in 1882. She ran between Norwich and Block Island, with stops in New London and Watch Hill, as well as Noank, Mystic (Ram) Island and Stonington. Later under the ownership of subsidiary companies of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, she continued on this route. According to some sources, from 1915 to 1930 she was a boarding house and mess hall in Newport, Rhode Island, and in 1930 was towed to Dyers Island and burned. The New England Steamship Company was a subsidiary of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and one of a fleet of vessels supporting coordinated water-rail transportation between New York and New England ports. Other images of the Block Island indicate that the location is probably Newport, prior to the Block Island's destruction in 1930.
