Belmont Harbor Press

To the Presses!

general photo from the Columbia Journalism Review

Most of the following images, that were collected from Ebay, tell a story of the harbor from the perspective of the Chicago Daily Tribune either from their newspaper or stand-alone photo found online through the Chicago Public Library online section

This post is related to another post simply called 

Belmont Yacht Harbor

This photo is also housed in the Ravenswood-Lake View Community Association Collection. The ship pictured was the first boat house after the Belmont Yacht Harbor was opened to the public in 1913. The vessel was called the Carrier due to its cargo - logs.
