Oakland Waterfront circa 1890

View east to Side-wheel ferryboats Amador (in service 1869-1902) & Alameda (in service 1866-1898) along Oakland waterfront at foot of Broadway. The Alameda may be taking on coal at Renton Coal Co. Three men in small boat pose in foreground. Building in center background is the now-demolished Alameda County Courthouse (stood 1875 to 1949-50). [F810 BO-003] (GGNRA/Behrman GOGA 35346)
