Title | Entrance to the Whirlpool and Whirlpool Rapids |
| Creator
| Seibel, George A. |
| Notes
| The entrance to the Whirlpool is at its minimum water flow from November 1 to March 31 each year as a result of water diversion for harnessing electric power. The effect of the underwater reef, holding back the water in the Eddy basin, can be seen in the smooth "two-stage" drop as the water flows into the Whirlpool. This photo taken onboard the Aero car. |

| Notes
| Reverse reads "The ruggedness and picturesqueness of nature about Niagara Falls has been seriously modified by the arts of man, the latest invasion being the construction of a Trolley Line through the Gorge, starting at Prospect Park and passing close to Whirlpool Rapids and the River, until it reaches Queenstown [sic] Queenston Heights. The ride is one of the sensations of pleasure and surprise, which sometimes approaches trepidation, as towering rocks, looming threateningly over the tracks cut through bluffs, produce a feeling of insecurity" ; |
