Certificate Description
1889 Old Colony Steamboat Bond Certificate signed by Fred Ames. Vignette of sidewheel steamboat on this attractive scripophily bond certificate. In 1869 the Boston, Newport & New York Steamboat Co. was sold to the Narragansett Steamboat Co. forming the Fall River Line under Jim Fisk. Jay Gould became President in 1872. Gould did not share his predecessor's fascination with steamboats and sold the Fall River Line to the Old Colony Railroad in 1874, creating the Old Colony Steamboat Company. Frederick Lothrop Ames, son of Oliver Ames, was heir to a fortune in railroads and shovel manufacturing. He was Vice President of the Old Colony Railroad and director of the Union Pacific railroad. At the time of his death, Ames was reported to be the wealthiest person in Massachusetts. VF+ condition.
