Paul Cavicchia Collection of American Ships' Photographs

Cavicchia, Paul

A resident of Newark, N.J., Paul Gaetano Cavicchia pursued his interest in ships by seeking out and collecting photographs of them.

The collection consists of approximately 325 photographs (mostly copies) of American vessels, including steamboats, river and ferry boats, and ocean liners, that sailed from the 1860s to the 1920s. Many of the ships are identified in pencil on the versos.

Gift of Paul Cavicchia in 1941 (AM2009-20).
