At the center of the view is Superior Street, the principal commercial street of 19th century Cleveland. A lively commercial district can be seen along the river's edge. Sailing vessels and a side-wheel steamer are docked on the banks of the river. The Ohio and Erie Canal can be seen parallel to the river in the right side of the view.
