Clyde Steamship Company

Clyde Steamship Company was a steamship transportation company connecting New York City to Florida as well as routes to Boston and Providence, Cuba, New Orleans, and various Keys. Formed by William P. Clyde in 1874, the company acquired various ships including the steamboat Beverly, Bristol, Philadelphia, Alliance, A.C. Stimers (likely named for Alban C. Stimers), May Flower, Ann Eliza (perhaps named for Ann Eliza Young) and the canal boats City of Buffalo and Catherine Moan.

In 1882, Clyde had routes along the west coast of Florida, to New Orleans, down to Key West and Havana.  By 1899, it had lines from New York to Wilmington, Brunswick, New York to Philadelphia, Philadelphia to Norfolk, New York to the West Indies, from Boston, Providence, and New York to Jacksonville, Florida as well as a St. John River Line. The steamships connected to rail lines in Florida. Frederick Douglas wrote about his dealings with the company in his autobiography. He was trying to establish a steamship line to Haiti.

In 1902, the company advertised tri-weekly sailings from Jacksonville to New York with a stop in Charleston, South Carolina as well as its St. Johns River line with the City of Jacksonville and routes to Providence and Boston, also stopping in Charleston.

[Mexico and Central America with Baja California inset, from Generalkarte von Nord America samt den Westindischen Inseln Versasst von Herrn. Pownall . . . MDCCLXXXVIII]

This is the lower left sheet of Fran Anton Schraembl's 1788 wall map of North America, offering a detailed depiction of Mexico and Central America, with a distinctive inset of Kino's expedition to Baja California. The inset, titled "P.Eusebius Franz Kino aus der G.J.entdeckte zwischen dem 1608 und 1701J.dass Californien eine Halbinsel sey," is a nod to Eusebio Kino's revelation between 1698 and 1701 that California was not an island, but a peninsula.

Qua solennitate Regina a Rege excipiatur [By what ceremony the Queen is received by the King.]

Qua solennitate Regina a Rege excipiatur, a captivating image engraved by Theodor De Bry and released in Frankfurt in 1591, captures an indigenous Floridian dance and is featured prominently within De Bry's renowned Grands Voyages. This original engraving emphasizes the ceremonial encounter of a queen with her king and elucidates the complex cultural rituals practiced by Florida's indigenous peoples during the late 16th century.
