1. Mallory Steamship Lines Marker
the Mallory Ship Line in the
1860s. The Mallory Line
operated passenger and
freight shipping from New
York City, through Key West,
to Galveston, Texas.
This shipping line operated
seventy ships for their
numerous coastal routes.
Expansion of the railroad
signaled the demise of
steamship travel to Key West.
That, coupled with the advent
of automotive travel in the
1920-30s, sealed the fate of
the Mallory Line. Coastal
water shipping declined and
Mallory closed in 1941.
