EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Florida's Ocklawaha River. Taken around 1897, it showcases the bustling activity of loading oranges onto boats for transportation along this vital waterway. The Ocklawaha River, known as the principal tributary of the St. Johns River, played a crucial role in steamboat transportation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image portrays a diverse group of individuals working together to load crates filled with succulent oranges onto a boat docked at the riverbank. Among them are African American men and women who contributed significantly to Florida's agricultural industry during that era. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into their daily lives and laborious efforts. The photograph is part of "A Tour Through the New World America" authored by Professor George R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London, circa 1897. It serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing not only trade and transport but also geography, culture, and people from this period. As we admire this monochrome portrait frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate its significance in capturing an important chapter in American history – one that highlights both human resilience and nature's abundance on display amidst Florida's scenic landscape along the Ocklawaha River.
