'City of Boston, (from South Boston)', 1874. Ships on the Charles River at the port of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. '...on either hand, are the wharfs and docks, crowded with craft of every size, shape, and nationality, from the little fishing-yachts which are wafting, on a summer's morning, in large numbers hither and thither on the water, to the stately Cunarder, whose red funnel rises amid the masts in its East- Boston slip. An eye-glance from the harbor takes in nearly the whole of the Boston shipping'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
