An outdoor view picturing the S.S. General Garfield at dock on the Great Salt Lake. The General Garfield was a triple-decked steam-powered stern-wheeler with twin steam stacks was built in 1871. Here is she moored on the lake near a large three-story building and a parked train with several passenger cars. Beyond the train is an open carriage with several figures hitched to horses. A man tentatively identified as Savage's assistant lounges among the rocks in the foreground. The photographer effectively captures several modes of transportation as well as the majesty of the Lake and the mountains beyond.
