William M. Black — photo spot in Ice Harbor Drive, Dubuque, IA 52001, USA
William M. Black
The William M. Black is a preserved 1930s steam-powered dredge moored on the Mississippi—excellent for industrial, historical, and waterscape shots. Photograph its riveted hull, towering crane, and exposed machinery against river reflections; the riverwalk and nearby bridges offer varied angles. Best light: golden hour and blue hour for warm metal tones and dramatic silhouettes. Weekday mornings have fewer visitors; museum hours and boarding access vary seasonally—check the National Mississippi
