The title points to the steamship Martha Washington, shown here returning from Europe during the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913, a conflict that drew wide American press attention. The record does not give a date or the names of those aboard, so the exact voyage is unclear. The photograph comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives capture the working press of that era, when ocean liners were a main link between American readers and events in Europe.
