Thanks.

My photo notes state she was 67 years old at the time I took the pictures,
and still a hand-fired coal burner.

Info on her can be found at:

as well as at other websites.

Impressive. What a great old ferry!

The stacks imply steam propulsion.

She looks old in the 1978 pictures, as do the tracks leading to her, but
she has steam up.

Off to the graveyard in 1996.

Know any more details about her?
