Published by Currier and Ives in New York in 1865, this color lithograph transports us to a time when paddle steamers ruled the waters. As we gaze at this picturesque scene, our eyes are drawn to the vibrant sunset casting its warm glow across the river's surface. The American flag proudly flutters atop one of the steamboats, symbolizing unity and patriotism during a period marked by division – the aftermath of the American Civil War. Intriguingly, barrels are being loaded onto one of these boats, reminding us that commerce thrived along this vital waterway.
