Again from the Boston Public Library collection, an undated postcard of the Port of Albany in simpler, and busier, times. This view is from the Rensselaer side of the port. I’m not sure what the tank barge Iroquois of Philadelphiapa [sic] was carrying during its visit, but I can note that in 1942, out Tonawanda way, the barge was “so negligently and carelessly maneuvered” that it collided with another barge, which collided with another barge, which collided with another barge. Things were all barged up. The internet is just amazing.
