Further along is a stick lighter with semi-curved lines including a pointed bow, then another covered lighter, to the right of which is a self-propelled open steam lighter. In right foreground is a hold barge tied to the pier; to its left is a typical stick lighter. Beyond are two more stick lighters; to their left is a covered barge with a mast and boom. In the distance are two floating grain elevators. From the glass plate negative in South Street Seaport Collection.

As a group we have not sponsored stand-alone get-togethers. If one of our members
is interested in doing the necessary work to make the arrangements and line up
presentations with any financial underwriting by RMIG, we would certainly encourage this.
There have been two meeting activities conducted in conjunction with other groups
as noted below. Additionally there are two low-key chapter organizations that have
sponsored activities.
