The title names the Army transport *Kilpatrick* carrying troops bound for Boston, a port the Army's transport service used to move soldiers along the Atlantic coast. The negative is a glass plate from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the New York news photo agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Because the title comes from unverified caption data, the ship's name and destination are worth checking against shipping records, but the image still offers a direct look at troop movement in the years before the First World War.
