Title	Single steamship at a wharf, showing several boats in the water, ca.1920
Description	Photograph of a single steamship at a wharf, showing several boats in the water, ca.1920. To the left, a large steamship is seen anchored in a harbor next to a wharf. Two large masts are visible along the main deck of the steamship. Several additional poles can be seen extending from each main mast in a fanned array. Various wires and ladders connect the masts to the deck below. A small smokestack is also visible at the ship's center. Near the bow of the ship, a large crane is visible lowering an object onto the deck. Another crane is also seen near the stern. In the background, a long row of crane stations are visible along the edge of the wharf. In the extreme background to the right, a long building can be seen near the water's edge. Alongside the ship, several small boats sit in the calm water. A few men are seen within these boats. In the extreme foreground, several additional boats are visible sitting at the edge of the water near the wharf.
