"Samuel Rea (September 21, 1855 – March 24, 1929) was an American engineer and the ninth president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, serving from 1913 to 1925. He joined the PRR in 1871, when the railroad had hardly outgrown its 1846 charter to build from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, and helped it grow to a 12,000-mile (19,000 km) system with access to Manhattan, upstate New York, and New England." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Rea A similar photo ran in The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) , August 25, 1922 with the caption: "SAMUEL REA, President Pennsylvania Railroad returns from international conference." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn92051227/1922-08-25/ed-...

On the S.S. Majestic.
Possibly Melvin J. Woodworth, editor of the New York News Bureau as mentioned in

and

It is him, he matches his passport image. I created an entry for him:
Melvin Johnson Woodworth (1880-1950)
www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q125352434
He took his own life in 1950 by hanging himself.

Thanks swanq and Richard Norton, we'll update his catalog record.
