EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the majestic steamship, The Chippewa, docked at Lewiston on the Niagara River between 1900 and 1906. The Chippewa was a sidewheeler steamboat, a common mode of transportation on the Niagara River during the early 1900s. The image, taken from a dock or wharf, showcases the ship's impressive size and stature as it rests peacefully against the shore. The Niagara River, a natural wonder and geographical feature that forms the border between the United States and Canada, is a popular tourist destination and a vital waterway for transportation. In the early 1900s, steamboats like The Chippewa played a significant role in connecting communities along the river, making travel between towns and cities more accessible. The Chippewa, a Detroit Publishing Company product, is believed to have been built by Edwin H. Husher and was operated by William A. Livingstone. The Detroit Publishing Company, known for its high-quality color and prints, produced this image using a dry plate or glass negative process. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of water transportation in the United States and the role it played in connecting communities along the Niagara River. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art or historical records and is a reminder of the importance of preserving our past for future generations.
