EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling harbor entrance of Buffalo, New York State, USA, in the early 1900s. The image, dated circa 1904-1908, showcases the vibrant industrial activity along the quayside with several steamers and ships anchored or making their way in and out of the harbor. The grey, smoky atmosphere adds to the sense of energy and movement. In the middle distance, the USS Hawk, a converted civilian yacht named Hermione, can be seen. The Hermione was once a private yacht, but was later commissioned by the US Navy for service during the Spanish-American War. This historic vessel adds an intriguing element to the scene, highlighting the intersection of civilian and military life in the early 20th century. People can be seen on the quay, going about their daily business or watching the boats come and go. A rowing launch is making its way towards the entrance, adding a touch of leisure to the industrious scene. In the background, a lighthouse stands tall, a beacon of safety and guidance for sailors navigating the waters of Lake Erie. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of Buffalo's harbor during a time of significant industrial growth and expansion. The combination of industry, transport, and leisure activities make for a captivating image that transports us back in time.
