  This is Manhattan's Hudson River piers, around Pier 88. The French Line terminal is towards the right, next to what appears to be a capsized ship.

• TVL1970 said:

  The capsized ship in the photo above is the SS Normandie (USS Lafayette (AP-53)), well into the salvage and righting process, as her superstructure has already been removed. Here is a declassified US Navy film about the salvage of the Normandie (USS Lafayette) posted by YouTube user Jeff Quitney: YouTube - US Navy Technical Report: "Salvage of the U.S.S. Lafayette" See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Normandie

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Paris_(1916) "The SS Paris was a French ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique. The French Line's Paris was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique of St. Nazaire. Although Paris was laid down in 1913, her launching was delayed until 1916, and she was not completed until 1921, due to World War I. When Paris was finally completed, she was the largest liner under the French flag, at 34,569 tons."
