The Old Colony Steamboat Company was chartered in April 1874 to operate freight and
passenger steamers between Narragansett Bay and New York, N.Y. While controlled by the Old
Colony Railroad, it operated independently. When the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad leased the Old Colony Railroad in 1893 it gained control of the steamboat company. IN
1905 the New Haven Railroad's New England Navigation Company purchased the Old Colony
Steamboat Company.
