Description

Photograph of the glass-bottom boat, the Empress, in Avalon harbor, Catalina Island, ca.1910. The 20 or so passengers are spread about the lower deck of the two-deck vessel. Three passengers are on the upper deck. The pilot stands in the cabin which is located at the bow. The boat is propelled by a steam driven paddle at the side. An American flag flies from the stern. Two tall masts of a sailboat beside (and behind) the Empress stick up above. Several other small sailboats are visible in the background. A large rock formation sticks up out of the water at the edge of the rocky coast of the island in the background further back. Legible signs include: "Empress", "Glass bottom", "Life boat covers".
