Twilight on the Bay: The Excursion Boat Empire of B.B. Wills tells
the story of one man's effort to sail against the tide. In 1934
when Benjamin Bowling Wills purchased a fifty-year-old Hudson River
steamboat to bring passengers to an amusement park he owned on the
Potomac River south of Washington, D.C., even he didn't realize
that he would soon abandon the amusement park and spend the next
thirty-odd years running excursion boats in Washington . . . and
Baltimore . . . and Boston . . . and even in Houston, Texas.
Twilight on the Bay describes this unusual development in
exquisite detail. Relying on the private papers and correspondence
of B.B. Wills himself, the author traces the evolution of Wills's
empire from the Potomac River on to the Chesapeake Bay -- and
eventually to cities up and down the East Coast.
