Title	"LIFTBRIDGE": WATERFORD N.Y. [handwritten front caption] (1front) [c0065ac1)
Creator	[unknown]
Subject--front	Drawbridges Men Passengers Canals Stairways Railings Power houses Pedestrian bridges Buildings Commercial facilities Logs Smokestacks Trails & paths Trees Black & white postcards Canal boats Towpaths
Description--Front	Front caption reads "LIFTBRIDGE WATERFORD N.Y." The main feature of the postcard is a canal boat in the Champlain Canal named "WONDER of NEW. YORK." (with a decorative mark on the right side of that moniker). There appear to be three men on the boat: one, in work-clothes is moving the back rudder, one is steering the boat, and a man apparently dressed in a suit and hat is standing in between them. There appears to be wares or goods on the boat. The canal boat is almost under a drawbridge, and there is a pedestrian bridge further down the canal. There are men walking alongside the canal; there are also several industrial facilities along the canal. There is slight damage to the upper-lefthand portion of the postcard.
