Description
Note: Rückseite des Photos: "Petroleum-Motorboot, 2 mal wöchentlich von Akuse nach Adda gehend."
Note translation: On the rear of the photograph someone has written: "Motorboat driven by petrol, plying twice weekly between Akuse and Adda". NB translating "petroleum" from German to English is complicated: most dictionaries use "paraffin" as their main equivalent (PJ 07.1998).
