Subject--front	Steamboats Flags Hats Railings Men Color postcards Canals Embankments Hills Grasses Shrubs Trees
Description--Front	In this color postcard of the Erie canal a white steamboat is anchored in the foreground. The name “Triton” is painted above the cockpit and an American flag is mounted at the stern. The steamboat has a dark stripe painted across the side of the boat and a railing is mounted along the deck. Two piles of folded deck chairs are stacked on the roof of the wooden cabin. Fourteen men in sailor suits and civilian dress are posing for the camera along the starboard side of the vessel. A stone wall embankment runs the length of the canal supporting train tracks on the hill above. An additional wooden support is nestled in the hill above the tracks. The hill is covered with trees and grass. A small portion of blue sky peaks through the tips of the trees at the top of the postcard. Written message [indiscernible].
