The Lusitania was a Cunard liner that crossed the Atlantic from 1907 until a German U-boat sank her off Ireland in May 1915. This glass negative carries the Bain News Service title "Ship with fans," which the Library of Congress lists as unverified, so the fans may be ventilation fans or something visible on deck. The record gives no date, but the picture must predate the liner's loss in 1915, when she was a familiar sight in New York harbor.
