Description
Photograph of a small outboard flat boat at the mouth of Bill Williams Fork in the Colorado River, ca.1900. At center, an outboard flat boat is moored to the shore with a rope tied around a rock at one end of the boat. The paddles stick up out of the oarlocks on both sides of the boat. There are boxes and other contents scattered within the body of the boat. In the foreground, the near shore consists of cracked dry mud. In the background, a finger of the near shore on the far side of the boat has small trees and bushes growing a short distance from the water's edge.
