Description

View of Newport, Newport County, R.I., 1878 / drawn & published by Galt & Hoy

This bird��s-eye view print of Newport, Rhode Island was drawn and published by Galt & Hoy in 1878. Newport��s history of brushes with pirates and slave traders, and its prosperous years with the whaling industry, prompted many vacationing families of the 1870's, to take in its splendor. Large ornate mansions and resorts began to be built around the port town during this era.

Newport��s location on Aquidneck Island offered beautiful scenery and ample boating sports. Newport could be reached by water ferry or the Old Colony Railroad in those days.

Work began on the Naval War College five years after this map��s publishing.

The map indicates Newport��s labeled streets, buildings, marina and waterways.
