Description
Photograph of a ship from the Dollar Steamship Line loading or unloading at a harbor, [s.d.]. Poeple are visible standing on top of the ship at left, which is visible from above. Most of the people are men who can be seen wearing suits and hats. Several pieces of luggage can be seen as well. A ramp reading "Dollar Steamship Line" along the side can be seen leading from the ship towards a building at right. Several men are visible at the bottom of the ramp on the harbor, while a group of closely packed people can be seen towards the end of the harbor behind a fence. At least twelve doors with numbers above them can be seen on the two-story building at right. Two men can be seen crouched down on the second story above the ramp. Buildings can be seen across the water in the background.
