Description: Steamboat on Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near Williamsport, Maryland. The panels of the cargo holds are seen stacked up and coal can be seen still in the rear hold. Coal is being loaded onto a Western Maryland railcar. There is also a steam engine powering the stiff legged derrick to lift the coal from the boat into the waiting coal car.
