A view in Boston Harbor with a paddle steamer at center. It flies a flag reading "B. & N.A. Ocean Mail" and an American flag, identifying it as part of the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, founded in 1840 and serving a route between Liverpool, Halifax and Boston. An American ship at right is named the "Neapolitan, Boston". Clipped from a journal.
