EDITORS COMMENTS
Str. Horicon, a historic sidewheeler steamboat, is seen leaving the dock at Lake George, New York, around 1904. The photograph, likely taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, captures the steamer's grandeur as it prepares to embark on its journey across the crystal-clear waters. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the transportation revolution that transformed the country's waterways into vital arteries of commerce and leisure. The steamboat, operated by the Detroit Publishing Company, was a common sight on Lake George during the early 1900s. The company, which had a significant impact on American tourism, produced and distributed thousands of postcards and photographs, including this one, documenting the beauty and charm of various American landscapes. Lake George, a popular vacation spot, is nestled in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The lake, which stretches for approximately 32 miles, has long been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and photographers. The Str. Horicon, with its impressive size and imposing presence, adds to the lake's allure, making this photograph an essential piece of American heritage. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but it is part of the vast collection held by the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of documenting history through images. This photograph not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of America's waterways.
