Negative, Glass-plate

Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the bow and port side of the Pittsburgh Steamship Company freighter DOUGLASS HOUGHTON, under steam. Two figures stand at the bow, two more are near the center deck cabin and four are outside of the aft cabin. A line extends from the stern of the HOUGHTON into the water, likely attached to a taffrail log. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background. "2083," was handwritten on the non-archival envelope which previously held the plate.
