E.K. COLLINS.

C512 served the Dramatic Line’s Liverpool service and C513 the New Orleans service.

Edward Knight Collins joined his father’s firm, Israel G. Collins & Son, before operating as E.K. Collins by 1830. The partnership date is printed as 1925 in Rosanoski’s account, inconsistent with the surrounding chronology. The Dramatic Line served Liverpool in 1836–50 and was nicknamed the Theatrical Line because its ships were named for artists and dramatists. A New Orleans service began in 1837. Collins became a steamship owner in 1850, when the sailing fleet dispersed, operating the Collins Line, also named New York & Liverpool United States’ Mail Steamship Co. The company failed in 1858; Collins died in 1878.
