DescriptionSteamboat John Trendley caught on an icy river, possibly during the ice gorge of 1887.jpg
English: Horizontal, black and white photograph showing steamboats caught on an icy river, possibly during the ice gorge of 1887. The steamboat John Trendley, owned by the Wiggins Ferry Company, is on the left, with an unidentified steamboat behind it. These steamboats appear to be trapped in the ice. On the right, there is a boat named Rescue No. 2, with a rope running from the boat's deck into the foreground. Several men are standing on the boat's deck, using poles or other long tools. The path in front of Rescue No. 2 appears blocked by ice, and there are ice chunks throughout the foreground. Title: Steamboat John Trendley caught on an icy river, possibly during the ice gorge of 1887.
