    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

    This looks like a drawing to me.
  • cotinis said:
    Yes, a drawing--and appears to be SS France (1912).
  • Mr. Rubber Ducky said:
    Is that Leo di Caprio at the bow exclaiming, "I'm king of the world!"? A very fine ship drawing.
  • deziplayer4life said:
    This picture reminded me of the titanic. The date of this picture is also in the same time period. I agree, this picture definitely looks like an artist's perception of the ship.
  • perfgeek said:
    The Titanic? How dare you sir besmirch the honor of France's maritime traditions by drawing parallels to that horrible English ship!-)

    April 3, 1915 New York Times identifies those who arrived on the Chicago the day before from Le Havre, among them Miss. I.S. Livingston and Miss St. Clair Livingston. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A00EFD81238E633A...

    Very beautiful picture!
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    pennylrichardsca and artolog, Thank you for the further information! These two women were quite accomplished. The date on the photo is April 3, 1915. An article in the April 4, 1915 Hartford Courant (only available through subscription database) uses this Bain photograph to illustrate a brief article, stating the two ladies are graduates of Johns Hopkins, and were returning from nursing wounded in Serbia. The medals they wear in the photo were awarded to them by King Peter of Serbia for their service. They return to the U.S. to raise money for Red Cross supplies to take back to Serbia two weeks later. (Naturally, this experience and others is what led them to write the 1916 book pennylrichardsca mentions.) We will add more details about Miss Hansen and Miss Livingston with our next update.
