Chain Ferry Scow with horses
Photograph
Chain ferry about to unload at the east side landing. Five the passengers are on horseback. The ferry cranker boy seems to be getting assistance from a man with a cap and another man has just lifted the dock-side gate in preparation for releasing the passengers. The Beachway is visible on the west shore of the river.
