Description

Photograph of old sailing ship moving across the ocean, San Diego, ca.1900. At center, the darkly-colored hull of an old sailing ship is seen moving across the ocean. Three tall masts perpendicular to the body of the ship are visible, and a small angled mast extending from the bow can also be seen. On the two frontal masts, only two square sails are connected to the lower-half of each mast. Two small triangular masts are connected to the angled mast, and a small flag is visible next to the rear mast. Several ropes and ladders are seen connecting various pieces of the masts to the deck below. In the background to the left, a small landmass is visible. Description on back of photoprint reads: "Sailing vessel rounding Point Loma--San Diego".
