Do you like steamship history? Do you remember the great steamers of the Hudson River? Then this Alan G. Wasenius Video is for you. Told with archival footage, sound effects, and photographs is the story of the steamer Alexander Hamilton of the Day Line, one of the last, if not the last, side wheel steamboats ever to ply the Hudson River.

Great video posting. I enjoyed 2 trips with my family on the Alexander Hamilton in the mid-60s when I was little. Once we went to Bear Mountain and had a picnic and another time we took the full trip to Poughkeepsie. We walked all over that boat and I remember the engine room in particular. Too bad it didn't survive. There are some items from it on display at the Hudson Maritime Museum in Kingston, NY.

Thank you for this film. I rode on this ship many times in the 60's and have nothing but warm feelings for her.

Your video is amazing. I've been associated with Hudson River steamers for over thirty years through my modelmaking of these vessels, both the early sidewheelers and then the Hudson River Day Line.
I was honored to build HENDRICK HUDSON for the former owners, re: the Olcott Family. To date I have built WASHINGTON IRVING, HENDRICK HUDSON, ROBERT FULTON, ALEXANDER HAMILTON and PETER STUYVESANT.
Thank you for sharing your video. It's a great addition to the river's history!
