[Riverboat on Banks of Mississippi River]

Hoffman, Peter B.

A riverboat on the banks of the Mississippi River. The boat has the name "Susan" written on the bow of the boat with a picture of a bird with its wings stretch out and two American flags, one on either side of the bird and name. The boat is three levels, and on the top level is the smokestack and bridge/deck-house where the captain steers the ship. There is a plank going from the bottom level of the ship to the bank of the Mississippi. The land has railroad tracks on the left side and where the railroad tracks separate is a group of smokestacks from factories with black smoke coming from them. In the distance there is a bridge connecting the two sides of the river and a small island in the distance on the left side of the photograph.
