Kermit Roosevelt, the son of former President Theodore Roosevelt, appears here with E.C. Plummer in a March 1926 photograph taken on a glass negative from the National Photo Company Collection. The company, a Washington, D.C. commercial studio, documented government officials, public figures and events in the capital during the early twentieth century. The title's reference to a shipping board suggests a visit connected with the United States Shipping Board, the federal agency that oversaw American merchant shipping after the First World War. Note that the caption data is unverified, and the glass itself shows streaks and blemishes from age.
