EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the steam-powered Str. Mt. Washington departs from the wharf at Weirs on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, in the early 1900s. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases the grandeur of this sidewheeler steamboat as it prepares to embark on its journey across the pristine waters of this picturesque lake. The Str. Mt. Washington, a popular tourist attraction and an essential means of transportation during this era, is seen here leaving the dock, surrounded by smaller canoes and boats. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam-powered boats ruled the waters and Lake Winnipesaukee was a beloved summer destination for Americans. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches. It is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich history and heritage of the United States. The image is particularly noteworthy for its stunning composition, with the steamboat's smokestacks billowing white plumes against the clear blue sky, and the calm waters reflecting the surrounding landscape. The Str. Mt. Washington, built in 1901, was a significant addition to the fleet of boats operated by the Detroit Publishing Company. This company, known for its high-quality color and prints, played a crucial role in documenting and promoting American tourism during the early 20th century. Today, this photograph stands as a reminder of a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of Lake Winnipesaukee and the United States as a whole.
