A troopship pulling away from a New York pier, the U.S. Army transport *Kilpatrick*, is the focus of this glass negative. The record's title links the departure to Boston, but that information is unverified, so the destination deserves some caution. Army transports of this period carried soldiers and supplies between American ports and distant posts, and the Bain News Service, which made the negative, supplied news photographs like this one to newspapers. The record dates the scene to August 1909, a time when the Army's transport service was busy moving men by sea.
