Description	Port bow view of a steamer at a pier. A large building can be seen to the left.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Tentatively identified as the sidewheel steamer Ulysses, built by Maxson, Fish & Co. of Mystic in 1864. Among her owners were the proprietors of Mystic Iron Works. She was chartered by the War Department in the Civil War period. Ulysses was intended to run between southeastern Connecticut ports and Watch Hill, Rhode Island. She was stranded in Rockland, Maine, 1878. Maxson, Fish & Co. was established in 1853 by William Ellery Maxson and Nathan G. Fish of Mystic, together with other partners. The yard was located in West Mystic. The business went bankrupt in 1870, soon after Fish's death. Mystic Iron Works, 1862-1873, manufactured and fitted engines and boilers for vessels. Its boom period was during and immediately after the Civil War when it fitted and refitted a number of vessels. The company also built one vessel, the iron-hulled screw towboat Montaines. Possibly taken in Maine. Albumen prints, 2 7/8 x 3 in., mounted on green card.
