Historical Inquiry:
I am looking for mid-century images and textual references of the steamboat passengers.
An image of Canandaigua Lake and one of her steam boats in the mid-century:
Joseph Wood on Canandaigua Lake http://www.hallofnewyork.ny.gov/finger-lakes
Account of a picnic on the lake and a steamboat – Village Life in America, P27
A late century photo of the pier and a steamboat.
An illustration of a Water Cure resort on a different lake.
Cr0quet at Sonnenberg, not dated. (approx 1867-70. Visual of recreation in Canandaigua.)
This looks like a similar size steamboat in 1858. It is a river boat though. Some women and children shown.
