The Log of the Wiheda photograph album (15 x 19 cm) contains six pages of typescript narrative referring to 31 numbered photographs that follow, one to a page. The album describes a six-day journey by motor-boat from Coopersville, New York, to Sorel, Quebec, by way of Lake Champlain, the Richelieu, and Saint Lawrence Rivers in August, 1908. The photographs appear to have been taken by David P. Harris, "First Officer and part owner;" the narrative was written by William N. Harris, "Tenderfoot and scribe." Also on the trip were William H. Robinson, "Master and part owner;" Merritt M. Harrus, "Pedagogue and chief cook;" Fred Rainey, "Collegian and bottle washer;" and George Anderson, "Motor expert and utility man."

The photographs show views of the waterways, buildings, and people encountered on the trip. Views of Fort Lennox in Quebec, a shoe factory, and the town of Sorel are featured, also a few views of the Wiheda en route.

The album has a tan, embossed cover with braided string binding.
