Labeled only as a sailing ship in New York, this glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of work from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency active in the early 20th century. The title comes from caption cards the service wrote itself and has not been independently verified, so the vessel's name and the exact date remain uncertain. Filed under steamboats, it is a reminder that the harbor's traffic was not all steam. Its glass plate format preserves fine detail that later prints often lose.
