Description
The "Pride of the River" is shown in action, somewhere near Sacramento on the Sacramento River. This photograph of the riverboat, built in 1878 for the California Transportation Company, was taken in 1911. The ship's maiden voyage was a 20-minute trip from San Francisco's Jackson Street Wharf to Hunter's Point. The sternwheeler's first trip up the Sacramento River came in September 1878.
