Guests are shown boarding from a launch beside the presidential yacht off Oyster Bay, on Long Island's north shore, where Theodore Roosevelt kept his summer home at Sagamore Hill. The picture dates to 1905, when the president spent summer weeks there and the yacht carried official visitors between shore and ship. The photograph belongs to Frances Benjamin Johnston's collection, though its caption details are unverified. The small launch at the gangway shows how ceremonial trips to a presidential ship were handled on the water.
