The Steamer
CYCLONE was built during 1892 at the Axton Yard located in
Brownsville, PA. This photo is dated 1892 and the CYCLONE
looks like a new boat. David Gratz, a member of the
Brownsville Historical Society, confirmed that this photo shows
Brownsville and he wrote, "
It appears the picture is viewing down stream.
Brownsville wharf in background under the two eastern spans. Mouth
of Dunlap Creek under first span. Herbertson foundry just off the
end of the bridge. The hill in the background, I believe, is Albany
Hill."
The boat is mentioned in
JW's Journal as having repair work during
October 1902
at the Elizabeth Marine Ways. |
