Description
Photograph of obscured aerial view of deck of U.S.S. Missouri from crow's nest, 1908. On the upper right on deck, several passengers and sailors are seen crowded near the guardrails of the ship. Another group of sailors can be seen in the lower-right corner. To the right of the ship, a wide platform is seen extending to a small boat. In the background behind the boat, another small boat is seen near the ship. At center, billowing clouds of white smoke completely obscure the image as the ship's whistle is blown. Above the clouds of smoke, the dark top of a smokestack is slightly visible. To the left, a small section of the ship with a few passing passengers can be seen.
