This is an invitation to the launching on 10 May, 1902 of the U.S. Torpedo Destroyer Stewart at Morris Heights-on-Harlem. There is a pass to take the train from Grand Central Station or the 125th Street Station to the launching. There is a tintype of 7 men, I have no idea who they are. The invitation is in an envelope addressed to a Wi? I. J. Parslow or Panlow (? spelling) . I think this might be William J. Parslow. In fact, I'm fairly certain it is as I find William J. Parslow was Vice President, later President, of Consolidated Shipbuilding Corporation, which had previously been Gas Engine & Power and Charles L. Seabury Company.
This comes from my father's papers. During WWII he and my mother both worked at Consolidated Ship Yard in the Bronx, both in the office. The Stewart was built by the Gas Engine & Power Company, and Charles L. Seabury & Company.
I would be interested in who the men are in the tintype. William J. Parslow died in 1934. The tintype may be of his father and his contemporaries. It was in with the invitation but I don't know the origin.
