Per Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Reconnaissance_Squadron), the 1st Aero Squadron sailed from Jersey City to Liverpool on the SS Lapland on 13 Aug 1917. It's probable that this photo was taken from the deck of the Lapland.

Alan Roesler said:
This is 1st Lieut. Arthur E. Easterbrook, with twin Lewis guns and 1st Lieut. Arthur J. Coyle, then 1st Aero Squadron commanding officer, with Coyle’s Salmson #24. Easterbrook flew missions with Coyle when Erwin was flying missions with Baucom. Note the German Cross patches covering the bullet holes in the fuselage. “Gertrude R” was the name of Easterbrook’s fiancée whom he married after the war.
