Several Pittsburghers gather to watch two men boating down Stanwix Street following the flood of March 28, 1913. The view is from Penn Avenue, looking north toward the Allegheny River. A rowboat floats empty in the water as freight cars pass on the railroad tracks in the background. Companies including Rodgers Sand Company, MacVay Printing Company, and Crown Lumber Company are also visible in the shot.
