EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around the turn of the twentieth century, showcases the majestic Steamer Toronto docked at Alexandria Bay in the Thousand Islands region of Jefferson County, New York State, United States. The Thousand Islands archipelago, located on the Saint Lawrence River, is a popular tourist destination known for its stunning natural beauty and rich history. The Steamer Toronto, a passenger steamboat and sidewheeler, was likely a significant part of the transportation infrastructure that brought visitors to this picturesque area. The image captures the steamer's distinctive funnel and intricate details of its sidewheels, which were essential for propelling the boat upstream against the current of the Saint Lawrence River. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was captured using a dry plate negative process, is a testament to the artistry and skill of the unknown photographer. The image is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and cultural artifacts that document the rich heritage of the United States and beyond. The Steamer Toronto, with its regal presence on the water, evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when travel by steam boat was a thrilling and adventurous way to explore the natural wonders of the world. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the past and the history of transportation in the Thousand Islands and beyond.
