Negative, Glass-plate

Monochromatic glass-plate negative from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting the port side of the Western Navigation Company freighter KAMINISTIQUIA, under steam. Two figures stand outside of the pilot house, and two others site on a hatch cover on the main deck. Four figures stand along the railing on the main deck, while another stands outside of the aft cabin. A tree-lined shoreline is visible in the background. A handwritten note on the non-archival envelope read:
