Synopsis
This is the story of a great New York State entrepreneur and his steamboat company. It is also about a period of Hudson Valley history so colorful and important that it should never be forgotten. The Cornell Steamboat Company, founded in 1837, was once the leading tugboat company in the nation. In an era of unbridled free enterprise, the company won a virtual monopoly of the Hudson River towing and endured into the 1960s. Founder and president Thomas Cornell was a man of many interests: railroad and hotel builder, two-term congressman, founder and president of two banks. The Cornell Steamboat Company was the jewel of Cornell's vast business empire.
