Motorists stop along the Columbia River Highway to watch the "Charles L. Wheeler, Jr." passing upstream on the Columbia River above Bonneville Dam. This was not a typical sight; the Wheeler was the only ship of its size to travel this far up river.

This was not a typical sight; the Wheeler was the only ship of its size to travel this far up river. (See Related Items below for another view of the Wheeler as it passes under the Bridge of the Gods.)
Apparently Ralph Eddy had his day planned pretty well, in order to capture images of the ship in both locations. It was on its way to The Dalles to celebrate the opening that day of Bonneville Locks.
