Santa Maria),
are from the eastern Great Lakes/Canada region. The time is early summer of 1921.
Where is this? Toronto, Montreal, Buffalo, Cleveland, ...? Please help us! If you know, please send an e-mail to

According to a timetable from 1922, this view is from Florida.
However, we doubt that this is correct, since all other panorama views were taken around the St. Lawrence Seaway,
the eastern Great Lakes and northern New York, and at the same time in the summer of 1921.
