EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling Monongahela Wharf in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, circa 1897. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing a moment in time is undeniable. The Monongahela Wharf served as a vital port for steamboats, tugboats, and riverboats during this era. It was a hub of activity with boats of various sizes moored along the Monongahela River. From cargo ships to smaller vessels, the wharf accommodated them all. Taken from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897, this print offers us a glimpse into the past when transportation played a crucial role in shaping American history. In this snapshot of life at the turn of the century, we see men standing on the dock overseeing operations or engaged in conversation with one another. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this historic scene. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images collection today, let us reflect on how far our country has come since those days when rivers were highways and steam-powered vessels ruled these waters. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how transportation has shaped our nation's progress over time.
