Panorama of Carrollton in the 1907 Flood

 

Pay attention here.  It's the 1907 Flood, but that's the Island Queen through the trees. You can see the lady on her side just beyond, and a little to the left of the men with the crossed sticks, and her smokestacks can be seen just right if center. Here's a better pic of the Island Queen to compare.
