Shady Side was a steamboat that operated in New York Harbor and nearby areas starting in 1873.

Service

Originally this vessel was owned by the Morrisiana Steamboat Company, and ran passengers to upper Manhattan and the Bronx by way of the East River. Later the vessel was used on routes to Stamford, Connecticut and Fort Lee, New Jersey, with stops at Shady-Side, Guttenberg, and Tilly Toodlum. Later the vessel came into the ownership of Marcus Garvey, running under the Black Star Line. Shady Side was abandoned in 1922.
