Taken from the deck of the Maid of the Mist, the excursion boat that carried sightseers toward the base of the falls, this view puts the viewer in the spray rather than on the cliff above. The Maid of the Mist traces its service on the Niagara River back to 1846, and boat trips like this one became a popular way to see the cataract. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection of glass negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency. The record gives no date, and its title is unverified, so the exact moment of the exposure is uncertain.
