This photograph, titled "Pontoon Boat on Wheels, 1861-65" takes us back to the era of the American Civil War. Captured by renowned photographer Mathew Brady and his studio, this print showcases a remarkable engineering marvel used during that time. The image depicts a pontoon boat mounted on wheels, an innovative solution employed for army bridges during the war. These boats played a crucial role in transporting troops and supplies across rivers and water bodies with great efficiency. The ingenuity behind this invention is evident as we witness its seamless integration of both land and water transportation. With its sturdy structure and functional design, the pontoon boat stands tall against the backdrop of North America's landscape.
