Exploring Photos with the NOTL Museum: Niagara River circa 1915

This circa 1915 photograph shows the Niagara River, looking north toward Lake Ontario, with the village of Queenston just left of centre. The suspension bridge can be seen spanning the gorge and the Canada Steamship Lines ship, the Cayuga, looks to be turning around to head out to the lake. A few other points of interest include (bottom right) on the American side, the tracks for the Great Gorge Route, which circled the Niagara River, and (in the lower right corner) what is possibly the system Queenston fisherman used to trap fish on the river.
