Canal-Boat at "The Horseshoe Fall", Niagara, [Canada], 1850....my eye was...arrested by the novel spectacle of a boat perched on the very edge...on the British side of the river...this Canal-boat, laden with pork and whiskey, but fortunately with no one on board, broke loose from the harbour at Chippeway, and was carried down the river by the current, pursuing her perilous voyage through the Rapids without any apparent injury, till she lodged against a rock on the extreme verge of the Fall, in which position she has since lain, as if at anchor, with the chafed waters roaring and gushing past her as they take their fearful leap into the abyss below'. View from...Table Rock, showing the curious position of the boat on the edge of the cataract - a position in which no earthly power can reach her...[she] will probably soon go to pieces under the action of the raging waters around her...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
