| Description: |
Several horse or mule drawn wagons are pulling loads up the 2nd Street Wharf embankment in the foreground of this photo. Below at the river, the ferry steamboat, Columbia offloads its passengers. In the distance to the left can be seen the stacks of at least three steamboats and the tower of the Coast Guard station. People and horse drawn wagons dot the wharf along the shore. Further in the background can be seen the railroad bridge and the locks at the falls of the Ohio River. |
