This picture is titled "On MAURETANIA," so it presumably shows people or activity aboard the Cunard liner RMS Mauretania, which entered service in 1907 and was one of the fastest ocean liners of its day. The record does not give a date, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact scene and sitter are uncertain.
