Historical Photo Collection
Photo from the Brown Brothers Photo Archive file marked "Hudson-Fulton".
Collection of images showing the elaborate celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Fulton paddlewheel steamship and the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of the Hudson River.  The celebration was organized by a group of wealthy and influential New Yorkers including J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie and spotlighted the many highlights of New York City and its people.  There were parades, illuminated statues and ships and an extravagant display of fireworks over the river.
Great images of the Wright A Flyer plane used in the flying demonstrations by Orville Wright showing the canoe they attached to the bottom.  He did a flight over the Hudson and back along with circling around the Statue of Liberty referred to as "Around the Lady".  This photo shows the plane in flight.
