Negative, Glass-plate

Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the starboard side of the Zenith Steamship Company freighter HOOVER AND MASON, under steam. Two figures are on the flying bridge, another walks along the main deck, a small group sits in front of the aft cabin, and two more work atop it. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background. The image is captioned with the date, "1915." "3436," was handwritten on the non-archival envelope which previously held the plate.
