Description
CAPTION: THE FIRST STEAMER, the Walk-in-the-Water, arrived in 1818. That event, and the opening of the Erie Canal, enabled thousands to come from the East and from foreign countries. By 1837, steamers were literally jamming the harbor, and arrivals numbered hundreds of people daily.. Photo is undated and measures 8.25 x 10 inches.
