The scan does not contain enough reliable detail for a firm classification.
- Depth spread
- 1px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 100%
- The share of usable picture detail that can be matched between the left and right views. A higher number means a more reliable comparison.
- Vertical
- 1px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
The sidewheel steamer Keweenaw lies broadside at a Duluth wharf, its name plainly visible across the paddle-wheel housing. Long cabin decks, a tall smokestack and slender masts stand against the open water and distant shoreline.
The foreground records the less finished side of the waterfront: exposed timber framing, stacked boards, scattered offcuts and a rough, stone-strewn bank. Several figures and a horse-drawn wagon occupy the narrow wharf beside the vessel.
The yellow mount is captioned “Harbor View. DuLuth.” and carries the series headings “LAKE SUPERIOR SCENERY” and “SOUTH SHORE.” The opposite margin bears the photographer’s imprint of Whitney & Zimmerman, Saint Paul. These printed details establish Duluth as the location; the particular wharf and the date of the photograph remain unidentified.
The reverse is unprinted, with a few pencil notations rather than a descriptive caption or catalogue checklist. The two photographs retain clear detail in the vessel and waterfront timberwork. The card is clean overall and appears sound.
