On the left side of the entrance to the Administration Building. See Brooklyn Museum photo for reference.

haha... Under Additional information; "Taken on May 23, 2008" ... Anyway: Cool picture. Strange to see ships like that. Seems like so many years ago..., but it's just one century...

@Klskogen: One reason that ship looks so old is that it's a replica of one of the caravels that Columbus sailed on to America! (isn't that pretty small to cross the Atlantic on??) This photo closely resembles one on page 85 of Glimpses of the World's Fair, which names this caravel Santa Maria.

The Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago in 1893. See
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_Columbian_Exposition
which has a photo of the ferris wheel that was rebuilt for the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.

Great old photos. I read a book about this Columbia Exposition and all the problems they had trying to get this up and running. Very interesting book.
