COMMUNICATIONS

I'm trying to do research on an old steamboat called the Robert Fulton, which used to go up and down the Hudson River in New York State in
the 1900's. It was apparently towed to Great Abaco Island, beached, landlocked between Marsh Harbour and Wilson City on Snake Cay, and turned into a commissary. According to the account I have, it was owned by the Owens-Illinois Company. This was back in the 50's, early 60's.

We're hoping to either buy or borrow artifacts from it for a museum
back up here on the Hudson. Does anyone know anything about this, or could
you recommend someone who does? Thanks very much.
