Notes
This W.F. Laraway view of the passenger space on the steamer Dalles City gives a good feel of what it would have been like to travel on this ship.

That seems a rather odd place to have a bell. Maybe it wasn't this ships bell, transporting it as freight. Wish it was possible to read what it says over the freight door. I wonder if they possibly transported horses and buggies through that door. Does anyone know?
Wondering if the two men in identical hats are not employed to the boat?

I think the sign says: Dogs must be kept on the leash.

If you click the tag for Dalles_City, there are some good photos.

Nellie, the ships bell was located forward and out of the way, above the main deck as cargo was loaded/unloaded quite often from the bow.

Close, JKG– While the sign is partially obscured it's definitely about dogs, but it says, “Dogs must be kept on the lo(wer deck)”
Algo Sucedio
I think this ship is in a lock

Algo……thanks for pointing that out…probably Cascade Locks? one of the interesting parts of river cruising is opening ones drapes and finding a concrete wall just, and I mean just, outside the window.
