Few things in early twentieth-century New York drew crowds to the waterfront like the great ocean liners, and this wide panoramic view captures one of them tied up at a Manhattan pier in 1907. Panoramic cameras of the era swept across a scene in a single long exposure, so the shot preserves the full length of the ship, the pier sheds, and the working harbor around them. In 1907, New York was the gateway for millions of immigrants arriving from Europe, and the piers along the Hudson and East Rivers handled both passengers and freight. Look closely at the dock workers and the rigging, which show how much labor went into moving people and goods across the Atlantic.
