Vanderbilt steamboat 1847 postcard
Cornelius Vanderbilt steamboat 1847
In 1847, Vanderbilt took over the presidency of Stonington, the first railroad he would lead. As he was starting to dominate the steamboat business, he decided to take over the connecting railroads. In 1849, he became interested in ocean-going steamboats, taking advantage of the California Gold Rush. He launched a steamship service that transported prospectors from New York to San Francisco via a route across Nicaragua. He made his millions by controlling two burgeoning industries: the steamboat industry and the railroad industry. When he died, Vanderbilt's estate was estimated to be worth $100,000,000

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
