Gelatin silver print photograph mounted to board depicting a crew member of James J. Hill's steam ship "Wacouta." Printed by Carriere & Compagnie, Montreal. The steamship was originally named "Eleanor" and was purchased by Hill in 1900. He renamed it "Wacouta" after the St. Paul, Minnesota street. The street was important to Hill as it was the street where the Merchant's Hotel originally stood, where he met his first wife Mary, and was also the location for the Great Northern Railroad depot and offices.
