Pics I Scanned

Is this the same ship as in post #1? This pic is dated 1905.

That pic you just posted is on Vintage Hamilton on FB.

There sure are a lot of buttons.

Another common picture, I was looking through there (FB) last night and after four hours gave up as there were so many pictures. There are some even from here.

I am no expert on the old steam ships even though there weren't that many that made daily trips, but one has two stacks and the other one. Also it is hard to tell if the Radial Bridge has been built yet, it is clearly visible in the post#1 picture.

 

[Sharla1]

Yes there are a ton of pics on that page on FB. I wished they had a word search on the Vintage Hamilton on FB.

Early seasonal home about 1890 on the beach strip.

Sailboats on the ice at the bay in 1914.

An actual floating house, never seen one of them. Wonder how it lasted in storm, most likely not that well.

 

[Sharla1]

I would have to agree with you on that with the storms. And no I have never seen one before either. I would like to see inside of it.

I wished the pic was more clear. This pic is dated 1910. They were cutting the ice on the bay.

There are some very good ice cutting postcards, but they are ridiculously expensive. So they won't be posted here anytime soon.

Around the bay race 1912 crossing the bridge at the canal.

Around the bay race 1912 crossing the bridge at the canal.

A very common picture, author Gary Evans was always interested in the photographer shown on the left in the picture, was trying track him down to find out who it was and to see if he had anything worth using. Likely long dead and buried.

(does it mention who took the lift bridge picture)

 

[Sharla1]

All it says is Special Collections Hamilton Public Library.

 

[Sharla1]

It's been a while since I looked at these books. I hadn't seen that pic before.

 

[Sharla1]

These were also scanned from Around and About Hamilton 1785-1985.

 

[scotto]

I will add a few from "A Mountain and a City"

The ship is the "Red Wing".

Great pics scotto. Thanks for the postings.

This pic is also from the book Around and about Hamilton 1785 to 1985.

Here is another one I scanned the other day.

Great shot of Lighthouse

From the book, 75th Anniversary, Beach Lodge 639.

Nice picture of the Lighthouse Scotto.

You get a small glimpse of the little white bungalow in the upper left hand corner of this picture that we lived in too.
