title is wrong, he is Mills, not Miles see comment under www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2162703177/in/p... for info on 1911 troop movements

Better known for his cereals. kidding

Probably 1913, based on other Bain photographs.

Artolog: thanks for the information and title correction. We'll fix the name and try to narrow in on the date a bit.

looks like the good capt. grounded his ship on Fire Island in April, 1911: "The North German liner Prinzess Irene arrived safely at her pier in Hoboken at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, under her own steam, and looked none the worse for her eighty-three-hour rest on the Fire Island sandbars. Capt. F. von Letten-Peterssen, who was in command of the liner, said that, so far as he could tell, the only damage the vessel sustained was the breaking of the frame of the rudder post." query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9506E1DE1031E233A...

Great portrait :) The light here is very nice and the sharpness is amazing compared to such an old photo :)

In 1911 when the ship was grounded. The ship was interred in 1914: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Pocahontas_(ID-3044)

>This is most likely for when the ship was interred in 1914: I don't get that from the wikipedia link. It says Peterssen was captain of the ship when it grounded.

After being taken over by the U. S., she was renamed the Pocahontas.

Possibly George Pomeroy Goodale, "for nearly fifty-four years dramatic editor of The Detroit Free Press" NYT of May 8,1919 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60712FE3D5E157A9... announces his death and mentions a celebration of fifty years as a critic with the Detroit Free Press in October 1915.
