EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1900 and 1930, depicts the arrival of the steamer Little Delta and its barge on a sandbar in an unspecified location in Alaska. The image captures the raw beauty and ruggedness of the Alaskan frontier, with the steamer and barge dwarfed by the vast expanse of water and sky. A crowd of men and women, dressed in turn-of-the-century clothing, gather on the shore to greet the newcomers, their expressions a mix of curiosity and excitement. Two men, one carrying a rope and the other with a large bundle on his shoulders, are at the forefront of the group, ready to assist with the unloading process. The steamer, with its distinctive smokestacks and paddlewheel, sits proudly in the water, its presence a testament to the progress and ingenuity of the time. The sandbar, a geographical feature common in Alaskan waters, adds to the sense of isolation and adventure. This image, from the collections of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, a meeting of frontiers, and a reminder of the rich heritage and history of Alaska and the United States.
