>>>The Anchor Line was the PRR steamship line that operated on the Great
Lakes, the Octorora being one of their ships.  The NYP&N was the NY, Phila &
Norfolk, and was the PRR subsidiary that took over most of the RR's on the
Delmarva peninsula, ran passenger and freight all the way down same and
operated both car ferries and passenger ships from Kiptopeke, VA to Hampton
Roads.
