EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1908, showcases the Pennsylvania Railroad ferries in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past of America's industrial era. The ferries, operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, are docked at their terminal, ready to transport passengers and cargo across the water. The terminal building, with its grand design and intricate details, stands proudly in the background. The dry plate glass negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches, captures the raw beauty of the scene, from the textured water to the intricate details of the ferry boats. The photograph offers a unique perspective of transportation during the early 1900s. Before the era of bridges and tunnels, ferries played a crucial role in connecting cities and towns along waterways. This image, taken at the Philadelphia terminal, highlights the importance of water transport in the industrial landscape of the United States. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich history of transportation in America. It also serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the country's industrial past. The Pennsylvania Railroad ferries, with their historic significance and architectural charm, continue to captivate viewers and transport us back in time.
