    "Rear Admiral Nathaniel R. Usher, of the navy yard, and a party of officers and officer's wives came alongside presently in the same sort of launches which had conveyed the Mayor.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Purroy_Mitchel A report of the funeral is in the NYT, July 12, 1918 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9B00E2D7173EE4...

    According to that report, this is the casket being lifted onto a caisson from West Point in front of City Hall, starting a journey to St. Patrick's Cathedral and Woodlawn Cemetery. Theodore Roosevelt (who would die about 7 months later) is visible with the honorary pallbearers at center.
