FYI: “Established in 1867, the founder and first President of the Old Dominion Steamship Company was Isaac Bell (1814–1897), and its first Vice President was George W. Elder. Former Attorney General of Delaware Jacob Moore served for a period as the company’s legal counsel. Subsequent presidents of the company included H.B. Walker and W.L. Woodrow. The company’s “Main Line Division” offered an overnight transportation service between New York and Norfolk could make 16 knots (30 km/h). That service was between New York pier 26, North River, and Norfolk connecting with the line’s “Virginia Division” steamers, including Old Dominion’s “Night Line Steamers” Berkley and Brandon serving Richmond with overnight service to Norfolk. In the 1880s, the longshoremen employed by the company began a widely publicized strike, seeking an increase in wages and overtime pay.” (Wikipedia)
