Portland on the Ohio
Description
On the afternoon of October 15, Maximilian's party prepared to embark once again on the Ohio at Portland, about half an hour from Louisville. Near Portland an island provided docking facilities for river craft. Among these was the Water Witch on which the travelers departed downriver. Bodmer's sketch of an Ohio riverboat at Portland, possibly the Water Witch itself, was made on October 16, the morning of their departure.
