About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Does anyone know where I can find a muster for the crew?

Wow, that one shot caught her just at the waterline. I note the funnel or chute about midship that discharges overboard. Was that for general garbage or human waste? Looks a bit streaky below where it empties!
