S.S. Southland The first of two very similar vessels built for the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Co. between 1908 and 1911, Southland is probably shown on this post card in her early years. The vessels ran on Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River between Norfolk, Va., and Washington, D.C. Photo No. None Source: Posted on www.flickr.com by parkview dc, used with permission |

S.S. Northland The second of two very similar vessels built for the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Co. between 1908 and 1911, Northland is probably shown on this post card in her early years. The vessels ran on Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River between Norfolk, Va., and Washington, D.C. Northland was renamed Leyden by the Navy when acquired in 1944 to avoid confusion with the Coast Guard cutter Northland.
