Negative, Glass-plate

Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the bow and port side of the Jenkins Steamship Company freighter CHARLES O. JENKINS, under steam. Three figures are on the flying bridge, a group of men and women are on the main deck, and several people lean over the stern of the ship, where a small boat carrying two figures is being towed. A man and a woman paddle by in a rowboat in the foreground. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background.
