StirringHudson's

Top name among the world's most famous rivers: THE HUDSON! This mighty blue ribbon connecting the "throbbing towers and canyons of New York City with Albany, the capital of the Empire State, presents a spectacle without equal in all the world. People have traveled far across these United States to feast their eyes on this astonishing scenery, while breathing the delicious air and relaxing on broad decks.

A gay and graceful Day Line Steamer, leaving its New York

City pier among the Trans-Atlantic liners, offers travelers and holiday­makers a unique perspective of the city skyline. Then past yachts and the kaleidoscope of harbor life, gliding with swift ease, you bel10ld the scenery shifted as, on the west shore, the ramparts of the Pali­sades rise sheer from the river mile after mile. Presently you sail into the broad blue Tappan Zee. After leaving this inland sea, you wind your way through the grandeur of the Highlands where towering above you and pressing the river deep within . themselves are the historic mountains: High Tor, Dunclerberg, Bear Mountain, Anthony's Nose, Sugar Loaf, Mt. Taurus, Storm King, and Break­neck Mountain. Here among Nature's stately architecture you may visit such famous recreation places as Indian Point and Bear Mountain. West Point is also nestled in these massive mountain sides where the bugle calls echo from the parade grounds.

The red · white • and blue Day. Line flag, whipping in the sun­light from the .. staff ..bT your steamer, is guiding you through

the very heart of American His·. tory. Every Ii.ill and valley has a story to tell of Colonial or Revolu· tionary Days, and glows with Legends of Washington Irving. Above the Highlands at the his­toric river town of Newburgh, you can see the quaint building, per· fectly preserved, where George

Washington· lived and planned campaigns with Lafayette.

Midway between New York and Albany, you reach ·the city of Poughkeepsie, seat of famous Vassar College. This is the north­ern terminal for Day Line passen­gers, making a one day round trip from New York.
