'Entering the Rapids', 1874. Creator: James David Smillie
'Entering the Rapids', 1874. Tourists on board the steamer 'Spartan' as it navigates white water on the the Saint Lawrence River, Ontario, Canada. '...the water leaps tempestuously around her, and she pauses an instant like a thing of life, bracing herself for a crisis, before she plunges into the boiling current and rides defiantly down it. It is a grand, thrilling moment...The rapids are nine miles long, and are divided in the centre by a picturesque island, the southern course usually being chosen by the steamers. The Spartan ran the distance in half an hour, without steam, and then emerged into the waters of Lake St. Francis...'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.

'Under Trinity Rock, Saguenay', 1874. Creator: James David Smillie
'Under Trinity Rock, Saguenay', 1874. Steamship on the Saguenay River, Quebec, Canada. '...we near Trinity Rock and Cape Eternity, and one of the crew brings a bucket of pebbles on to the forward deck. As these two capes are accounted among the grandest sights of the voyage, there is a flutter of anticipation among the passengers...A slight curve brings us into Trinity Bay...flanked at the entrance by two precipices, each rising, almost perpendicularly, eighteen hundred feet above the river. The steepest is Trinity, so called because of the three distinct peaks on its northern summit...Trinity presents a face of fractured granite, which appears almost white...And now, as the boat seems to be within a few yards of them, the passengers are invited to see if they can strike them with the pebbles...but the stones fall short of their mark, in the water'.
