Chain Ferry c.1895
Photograph
A lone man stands on an early Chain Ferry that does not have a side bump out for the cranker. Rowboats are tied to both ends of the scow. One boat has two people aboard. The photo was taken from the west bank of the Kalamazoo, looking toward the shacks and a wood pile where the Tourists' Home hotel will be. In the foreground, a patch of reeds emerge from the water.
