The caption on this glass negative calls the subject the New "Warship," a hydroplane associated with someone named Samson, though the record does not confirm the builder or the date. Hydroplanes were fast, shallow-hulled powerboats that rode partly up on the water and drew public attention in the early 1900s. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a New York press agency whose glass negatives document many news subjects of the period, and its title comes from caption cards that the library itself marks as unverified.
