Hattie Bell at Rooster Rock, Columbia River
Description
A black and white photograph of a sternwheeler identified as the "Hattie Bell", at Rooster Rock on the Columbia River. The ship lies placidly on still water, and the details of its paddlewheel, two lifeboats, the cabin and decks can all be clearly seen. In the foreground, trees or bushes frame the view; in the background the impressive shape of Rooster Rock rises above the water on the left of the picture. The rounded hill to the right is heavily wooded with conifers. High-water marks can be seen at the base of Rooster Rock.
2. Steamboats in the rapids approaching Cascade Locks, Columbia River Highway, Oregon
Steamboats in the rapids approaching Cascade Locks, Columbia River Highway, Oregon
Description
A black and white view of three steamboats in the water approaching Cascade Locks on the Columbia River. The paddlewheel of the large stern wheeler to the left of the photo can be clearly seen. This ship is much larger than the other two at right, and has been identified as the "Bailey Gatzert". One of the other steamers has been identified as the "Charles R. Spencer". Their smokestacks all belch smoke. In the river some small islands can be seen. On the further shore, a low, well-forested riverbank with a settlement of houses rises to wooded hills. To the center right of the picture the locks are seen. The Cascade Locks were completed in 1896, and submerged in 1938 as a result of the construction of the Bonneville Dam.
3. Albany on the Big Eddy above the Dalles
Albany on the Big Eddy above the Dalles
Description
A black and white view of a steam paddlewheel ship identified as the stern wheeler "Albany" is seen near the shore of the Columbia River at the Big Eddy upstream from the Dalles. Smoke rises from the ship's smokestack, and the paddlewheel is raising a cloud of spray. On the side of the ship is a ladder descending from the upper deck. At the prow several figures are visible; they seem to be communicating with people on the shore. Oddly-shaped low hills rise in the background, half-covered with trees.
