Photograph of port profile of the U.S.S. Kansas with several small boats alongside, 1908. To the right, a large crowd is gathered along the deck of the ship near a stairwell along its hull. Many passengers are visible within the two small boats below. A covered boat is visible at center along the hull. In the foreground at center, another boat decorated with two flags and carrying two passengers is also seen. On the left side of the deck, a few people are seen scattered along the deck. At the center of the ship, three tall smokestacks with two holes on each side are seen. The far left smokestack emits a trail of smoke into the sky. On both sides of these smokestacks, large metallic crane arms are visible. To the left and right, large masts frame the smoke stacks. Meshes of wire extend to several parts of the ship from each mast, and two flags adorn the top of the leftmost mast. Similarly, a large American flag is seen near the stern of the ship on the far right, and another smaller flag is seen on the far left. In the extreme background to the left, a unidentifiable coastline is visible.
