As is named on the lifeboat behind Mr. Gould, this is the German Liner S.S. Kronprinzessin Cecilie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Kronprinzessin_Cecilie Later to become USS Mount Vernon: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3006358188/

Could be this fellow, sure looks like him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gould_II Frank (identified above) is his uncle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Jay_Gould

If my sight is correct: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Viktoria_Luise_of_Prussia and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchess_Cecilie_of_Mecklenburg-Schw... so the photo was probably made between 1905 and 1913.

Princess Viktoria is a wonderful princess.

Dazzle Painting! Cool! Neat camo attempt to thwart U-boats, hard to gauge direction and speed due to lack of uniformity in paint....
