"Steamboating on the Nanticoke"

Hundreds of pen & ink strokes went into artist and history lover Ellen Rice's portrayal of the steamboat "Avalon" arriving at a Nanticoke River port in Seaford, Delaware, and the happy days when the boat came to turn of the last century.

Information for its story was provided by the late Seaford Leader newspaper founder Wright Robinson who personally enjoyed those days. Read more about those days and read a second, first-hand recount of them on this drawing's main page.
