This photograph is near the Steffey & Findlay Coal Company Wharf and pictures a couple of men and a boy sitting on a loaded canal boat. In the background is a building that had been burned and could have been a warehouse associated with the Steffey & Findlay Company. Behind the burned building and large coal pile is River View Cemetery which holds the gravesite of founder of Williamsport, Otho Williams, a Revolutionary War Veteran.
