Title	Madison Riverfront
Subject	"Fleetwood"; "New South"; Waterfronts; Rivers; Ohio River; Madison, Indiana; Steamboats
Description	The "Fleetwood" and "New South" are seen at the U.S. Mail Line wharf boat at Madison, Indiana. The wharf boat has been described as a "big barn of a building". It is believed that the "N. Williams, Agent for the Lines" was Captain Nat Williams, father-in-law of Captain Joseph C. Abbott, owner of the Madison-Milton ferry. This picture is a good example of the activity along the river during the 1800s.
