EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a Mississippi River packet boat, moored in New Orleans, Louisiana, between 1900 and 1910. The packet boat, a vital mode of transportation along the Mississippi River during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is shown with its tall smokestack and distinctive funnel. The image captures the essence of the era, with the packet boat's size and shape contrasting against the calm waters of the river. New Orleans, a bustling port city, served as a crucial hub for the transportation of goods and people along the Mississippi River. The packet boats, operated by various companies such as Detroit Publishing Company, provided an essential link between the Midwest and the Gulf of Mexico. This photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, offers a glimpse into the rich history of water transport in the United States. The image, part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the heritage and geography of the region, with the Mississippi River serving as a defining feature in the country's history. The packet boat's moored position in the photograph invites the viewer to imagine the hustle and bustle of the city and the river's activity. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, showcasing the beauty and importance of the Mississippi River in the United States' history.
