Historic Saranac Lake needs your help identifying the who, what, where, when, and/or why of this photo. This car cable ferry has us stumped! This photograph was taken by William Schuster, who was a patient at the New York State Hospital for Incipient Tuberculosis in Ray Brook in the early 1900s. He took many photographs as he and his wife Tarsilla, who was also a patient, explored the area. Do you know where there was a ferry like this in the Ray Brook area? Or do you recognize the background? Let us know by leaving a comment or sending a message!
