Waterfront , Okanogan , Washington , 1909
Photographer
Matsura , Frank , 1873-1913 .
Description
A photo of two steamboats moored at the Okanogan wharf . Taken in May 1909 , Matsura captured the dramatic , and somewhat alluring quality of steamboat travel . The ominous dark puffs of smoke and a glassy reflection off the smooth surface of the Okanogan River heightened this effect . The image became an oft used postcard , and was featured in the local newspaper , the Okanogan Independent , in 1909 and subsequent years . The boats were part of the fleet owned by Wenatchee's Okanogan & Columbia Steamboat Company . They are the Enterprise (built 1903) and the North Star (built 1902) .
