EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Ferry landing, Walkerville, Ont. between 1905 and 1915,' showcases a picturesque scene along the Detroit River in Ontario, Canada. The image, of unknown origin, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time between the early and mid-1900s. The serene waterfront is dotted with several moored boats, their masts standing tall against the backdrop of the clear, tranquil river. A ferry boat, ready for departure, is anchored at the pier, its stern ropes taut and secure. The pier, extending into the river, is lined with wooden planks, worn and weathered by the passage of time. The quaint, turn-of-the-century landscape is further enhanced by the picturesque town of Walkerville in the background. The town, with its charming buildings and tree-lined streets, exudes a sense of history and heritage. The Detroit River, a major geographical feature, forms a natural border between Canada and the United States, adding to the rich cultural tapestry of the region. This photograph, captured on a dry plate glass negative, measures 8 x 10 inches and was likely taken by an unknown photographer during the 20th century. The image is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. The scene at the ferry landing in Walkerville, Ont. between 1905 and 1915, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It serves as a reminder of the importance of our past and the role that water transport played in shaping the history of this region.
