The caption names the U.S.S. Celtic, but that label comes from unverified National Photo Company data, and the Celtic was better known as a White Star Line ocean liner built in Belfast, so the identification deserves a second look. The picture is tied to the naval review held off New York in October 1913, when warships gathered for President Woodrow Wilson's inspection. Such events drew crowds of dressed-up ships and spectators along the shore, and the National Photo Company recorded many of them on glass negatives like this one.
