Perhaps during the 1920 presidential election campaign in which Cox was the (losing) Democratic candidate?

The magnificent 'Sobraon'. She is of the same composite construction & design as 'Cutty Sark', but significantly larger.

Tilbury Steamer

Picture Esk said:
The 1883 date of the photograph ties in with the launch of the paddle steamer "Tilbury" . She was commissioned by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway who maintained the ferry service across the River Thames between Tilbury and Gravesend. She operated for nearly 40 years before being scrapped in 1922.
