Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: The "City of Buffalo" docked at her pier near the foot of Ninth Street, Cleveland, Ohio. Looking south away from Lake Erie toward the then new "public buildings". The much larger C & B boat (4 decks I believe on the same line, left Cleveland & Buffalo on alternate evenings for the night run, thus the two boats maintaining night service from each city. They backed into their piers upon arrival and used adjoining piers. Taken by A. Thomas Nelson about 1917 or 1918. From our quarters at the Arden Hotel out Euclid Ave. east toward 18th St. we could see the larger C & B go past inside the breakwater every other evening: she loomed large.
