Soo Harbor 1904 Panoramic

This panoramic was made from two images combined into one. Since the pictures were most likely take on glass plates, there is a few minutes between the two images.
This was because the photographer had to reload his camera with a new glass plate. The result is having the Arabian appear to show up in the panoramic in two different places at the same time.
