Photograph of the S. S. Del Norte being towed out of its berth in New Orleans and into the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River flows across the foreground on an angle. In the near distance at left, the S. S. Del Norte sits alongside a wharf. It is viewed at a slight angle from its port side. Two smaller tugboats approach the center of the ship, just left-of-center. Beyond the S. S. Del Norte, the wharf and its buildings stretch across the background. A large, opaque patch of white occupies the lower left corner.
