Thanks for the ID and details B-59. And, yes, that hat is interesting.

"Justine Johnstone (January 31, 1895 – September 4, 1982) was an American stage and silent screen actress, pathologist and expert on syphilis. Working under her married name, Justine Wanger, she was part of the team that developed the modern intravenous drip technique." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justine_Johnstone S. also www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/17124715317/

Another photo of her, taken apparently at the same location and in the same outfit, appeared in Evening star. [volume], May 15, 1921, Image 85 with the caption: "Justine Johnston, a star of the movies, waves farewell to America from the deck of the Aquitania. She will study photoplay producing in European cities." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1921-05-15/ed-...

Thanks, B-59, we can add info to records.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thomas_Turner William Thomas Turner (October 23, 1856 - June 23, 1933) was the Captain of the RMS Lusitania when it was sunk by a German torpedo in May 1915.

this could also be taken when he captained the Aquitania on her maiden voyage On 30 May 1914. As Commodore for Cunard, he also captained Mauretania and Lusitania on their maiden voyages. The air intakes behind him could be the Aquitania, or possibly Lusitania after her original caps had been torn off by storms and replaced with this more conventional style later in her career. (Or Mauretania at any time) However their apparent closeness most resembles the pair aside Aquitania's #1 funnel. see the photo:

I scanned the negative for a date but can't discern one.

Date, 6/5/14, is on right side of photo.

Thanks Wystan for the date, which probably puts Captain Turner on board the Aquitania. Thank you nudecowboy for the photo of the Aquitania model. We will include additional information about Captain Turner to the description when we update.
