This scene depicts artist W.E. Wright's vision of Bay City in 1882 as seen looking south from the Third Street Bridge. Mr. Wright depicts a busy port town with vessels of all size and function from tugs and barges to schooners and large side-wheel excursion vessels. In 1882 Bay City and West Bay City (on right) have all the hallmarks of a successful lumbering town: tugs towing rafts of logs, lumber mills, stacks of lumber, loaded barges, and salt derricks to capitalize on another abundant natural resource.
