Step back in time with this image of a Fulton ferry boat docked in Brooklyn, New York, USA, circa 1890. The Fulton Ferry, named after Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steam-powered ship, was a vital mode of transportation in the 1800s, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn before the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. This stunning lantern slide, captured from a bygone era, showcases the paddlesteamer in all its glory. The boat's sleek design, with its tall, vertical smokestacks and ornate details, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The paddle wheel at the back of the boat, a testament to its steam-powered engine, is a marvel of engineering from the 1890s. The bustling scene in the background further emphasizes the importance of the Fulton Ferry during this period. People can be seen milling about on the dock, likely waiting to board the boat or greeting loved ones who have arrived. A small store or shop can be seen on the left, adding to the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the waterfront. This image, with its rich history and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of transportation and the role the Fulton Ferry played in connecting the boroughs of New York City. A true treasure for history enthusiasts, this lantern slide is a must-have for any collection focusing on American history or the history of transportation in the USA.
