Four more for Whitman

From the New York Public Library, http://digitalgallery.nypl.org, here are four more stereo images of ferries in New York harbor, all dating from shortly after Crossing Brooklyn Ferry (1856). Each original stereopticon card is followed by a version that's viewable in stereo with a pair of red and blue lenses. Click any image to enlarge it.
