I like this photo

This looks more like the American falls, not the Horseshoe Falls. It has the same rocks at the bottom and it would be difficult, i think to get this angle of the Horseshoe falls because you'd have nowhere to stand--there's only a huge basin of water beneath it, whereas the American Falls, you can go to the bottom below it and take a picture like this. I think this is that American Falls, or at least the section between the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls, taken possibly from the Maid of the Mist as it passes by the American Falls on the way to the Horseshoe. It doesn't look like this now, because parts of the landscape were blasted away. i could be wrong...

As poetdiva poetdiva said, this is the American Falls, not the Horseshoe Falls.

Niagara Falls is often categorized by these three names: [1]

American Falls (between Prospect Point and Luna Island) far left
Bridal Veil Falls (between Luna Island and Goat Island) mid left
Canadian Falls (between Goat Island and Table Rock) far right
(Most of the Canadian Falls is also called "Horseshoe Falls" due to shape)

There is another photograph by William Henry Jackson of this same view (and likely taken at the same time), captioned "A boat approaches the base of Niagara Falls, 1901", which is managed by Corbis.

Try this link: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D0CE7DD113AE633A... June 24, 1912, a crowd of 400 people, many women and children, rushed on to a pier after a day of picnic-ing, the pier collapsed and threw some 250 into the water (but they did not all die). The water was relatively fast moving, some drowned and some were swept downstream in the current. About 20 were estimated to have perished. Location is near Niagra Falls.

Oops!!

June 12, 1912 according to 100yearsagotoday.wordpress.com/tag/eagle-park-pier-collapse/ Eagle park is on Lake Erie in NY State
