Spectacular Fleet Parade Up the North River
Water surged into white-capped breakers as magnificent ships glided by with near imperceptible motion. A precise 300 yard spacing between ships and a half hour to pass the forts marked the fleet’s smooth passage. After Narrows, excursion steamers and yachts joined as a volunteer escort, creating a graceful, animated scene with clear silhouettes and fluttering national flags. Navy tugs and patrols led, revenue cutters closed the rear, and crowds filled the waterfront while steam whistles punctured the air until the last vessel anchored opposite Eighty-ninth Street.
