For your consideration is a nice stereoview identified on the bottom of the mount as "Steamer River Queen at Oak Bluffs Landing".  This is a great view of the steamer in the background with sailboats in the foreground and people walking on the dock.  There is some paper loss to the back of the mount along with some soiling.
Please view the enlargeable scans carefully and contact me with any questions.
From Wikipedia:
The
River Queen
was a sidewheel steamer which became closely associated with President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant while operating on the Potomac River, and was used for an unsuccessful peace conference during the last year of the American Civil War.  Later it operated as a ferry serving the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket during the late 19th century. Late in its career, it returned to the Potomac as an excursion vessel, and in 1911, it was destroyed in a fire."
