Description
I created this shortened Pano to enable the boat's paddlewheel to be visible in the website Thumbnail image. This image is also available in 1x3 and 1x4 aspects for a different experience.
Peoria Illinois' riverboat, The Spirit of Peoria, sits at dock near the Murray Baker Bridge. The bridge carries Interstate 74 over the Illinois River at the end of Peoria Lake. The bridge itself is a single cantilever bridge, with two lanes in each direction. Because it has no shoulders, the Baker Bridge is not up to modern Interstate standards.
The bridge is named for Murray M. Baker, who was the first vice president of the company that eventually became Caterpillar. Baker convinced the Holt Manufacturing Co. to move to Peoria in 1909. Holt merged with C.L. Best Gas Tractor Co. and became Caterpillar in 1925.
