While New England can claim the original Mayflower, the South has the Steamboat Mayflower! The DMA’s collection includes this 1855 color lithograph by Nathaniel Currier of the high-pressure steamboat Mayflower.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and safe travels whether by plane, car, or steamboat!
