Here's the Osceola in about 1917, during the time when it was making its run between Jacksonville and Sanford.  The steamer is docked at or near the Northbank spot in which it would sink years later.  This is in the vicinity of today's Adam's Mark Hotel.  On top of the Osceola is its pilot's house and black smokestack.  Just to the left of these structures is the domed cupola of the Duval County Courthouse, built in 1902 and razed in 1960.  It stood where the eastern end of the Yates Building (Property Appraiser's Office) is located now.
