[Eclipse Excursion Steamboat from the Stern]

Hoffman, Peter B.

The excursion steamboat, Eclipse, with many waves behind it kicked up from the paddle wheel. Above the paddle wheel is a sign that reads, "Eclipse of Le Claire: Port of Rock Island". The starboard side of the boat is visible with the three levels. At the top, the pilot house with the captain steering the ship with the two smokestacks. The lower two levels show a few people visible. The lower right corner features a mishap with the photography, almost as if a ghostly image of a fence.
