    Given the date inscribed on the negative, "10/28/25", and "President Harding" caption, this is the ship SS President Harding, arriving in New York Harbor after it rescued 28 members of the crew of the Italian freighter, SS Ignazio Florio in the North Atlantic, on October 21, 1925. The Italian freighter was floundering and suffering a list of 30-degrees in rough seas when the President Harding came upon her, and was able to rescue 28 souls before the Italian ship sunk below the ocean's surface.
