I believe the laker heading out is the James Laughlin, of the J & L Steamship company, distinguishing features being her guest quarters having four windows, her smokestack of the company itself, and how her name is designed on the stern.

Coloured postcard of a laker steaming out of Buffalo harbor past the lighthouse into Lake Erie. According to the notes on the face of the postcard the lighthouse tender CROCUS is lying off the supply depot on the south pier.
