This picture was taken at a hotel in Tampa in June 1898. On the same day as this photo Remington made a pen and ink gouache drawing of Stephen Bonsal ... who is wearing the same clothes in the sketch.

Likely not a ship as Remington also wrote Tampa on the sketch. I'm thinking it was a hotel porch in Tampa
