The ship in this picture is the *Prinzess Irene*, shown being towed into port, a sight that signaled a vessel had lost power or needed help reaching its berth. The record does not give a date, and its title comes from caption data that the Bain News Service wrote on the original negatives, so the exact occasion is unconfirmed. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early 1900s, and its glass-plate negatives record the city's shipping, waterfront, and daily events of that era.
