Negative, Glass-plate

Negative, glass-plate. Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the bow and starboard side of the freighter CITY OF ROME. Several crew members are on deck, and one stands holding a megaphone on the hurricane deck, as a small craft passes on the near side of the freighter. Another freighter is on the far side of the CITY OF ROME, and between the two large vessels, a man paddles a row boat. A line extending from the stern of the CITY OF ROME, off frame suggests it may have been towing something. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background.
