Put-In-Bay, the Kirby: A Glimpse into Maritime History (1880-1899) This photograph, taken between 1880 and 1899, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Put-In-Bay, located in Ottawa County, Ohio, United States of America. The image, titled 'Put-In-Bay, the Kirby,' depicts a sidewheeler steamboat, believed to be the Frank E. Kirby, gracefully steaming on the tranquil waters of the bay. The Kirby was a common sight during the late 19th century, serving as a vital mode of transportation and connection to the outside world for the residents of Put-In-Bay and the surrounding communities. This glass negative, likely a dry plate process, captures the essence of the era, with the boat's sidewheel churning up the water and the billowing smoke stack adding a sense of power and industry. The photograph, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, is a testament to the country's maritime heritage and the role that steamboats played in the transportation landscape of America during the 19th century. The Kirby, and other boats like it, connected communities, facilitated commerce, and brought people together, making them an integral part of the nation's history. This image, though its creator remains unknown, serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, where the waterways of America were the lifeblood of transportation and the steamboats, like the Kirby, were the engines of progress.
