View across Bridgeport, Connecticut's harbor from the elevator, with steam tugs and side-wheel steamboats moored along the wharves in the foreground and small sailboats and a long excursion steamer farther out. Low factory buildings, a tall smokestack, and a tree-covered shoreline mark the harbor's edge. Bridgeport was a busy industrial port on Long Island Sound in the early 1900s, home to Locomobile and other manufacturers, and its harbor carried coal, freight, and excursion traffic.
