This card shows a view of Barge Canal with a wood canal boat on the right side of the canal. The boat is named "DOLPHIN OF ALBY, N.Y. N.Y." It is tied up to the shore and there seems to be another canal boat in front of it. There is a three story building with an awning on the left side of the canal connecting to a grain elevator or flour mill [presumably]. Three storage tanks [presumed] can be seen to the right of the building. There are two waterfront sheds [presumably] to the left of the elevator/mill that have powerlines behind them. Trees and shrubs can be seen in the distance and some are grown right on the tip on the land near the canal.
