Description
Coloured postcard of the Ottawa River Navigation Company steamboat SOVEREIGN in the Lachine Rapids above Montreal at night
Notes
The SOVEREIGN was sold to the Saint Lawrence Canadian Navigation Company in 1907 which is approximately when the card was produced. It is highly unlikely that anything like this scene occured as the steamboats rarely ran the rapids at night. Divided back. Postally unused.
