Again in this 1913 photograph in Ashland, the photographer was facing north, with the hills
of Ohio visible in the background on the other side of the swollen river. Several small boats
can be seen making their way along a flooded Fifteenth Street. A lettered name on the bow
of the boat at the center of the picture identifies it as a launch from the steamer Steel City,
which regularly traveled the Ohio River between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. (Courtesy
