Negative, Glass-plate

Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the bow and starboard side of the freighter KENSINGTON, under steam. Three men stand on the main deck while a fourth is near the stern. A rowboat carrying a man and two women is alongside the starboard side of the KENSINGTON. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background. A handwritten note on the non-archival envelope which previously held the plate read:
