| The
Steam ferry "Russell" unloads workers on the Ohio River near
Russell, Kentucky . The photo was taken about 1921 by an eccentric
individual who wandered Southern Ohio on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle
with side car. He was a practicing boiler operator and took many photos
of steam powered machinery and construction sites. He seems to have been
fascinated with all forms of transportation as there are many early
aircraft and railroad photos amongst his collection. He settled in New
Concord, Ohio after helping to build additions to Muskingum College. The
above photo shows a means of transportation long gone for many years on
the Ohio River. |
