Description:

Monochromatic glass plate negative of taken of a photograph, pinned in place on a wooden surface, of three boats moored at the Buffalo Dry Dock Company. The separated bow portion of the Pittsburgh Steamship Company freighter GERMAN is on the right. The GERMAN was cut in half by the Buffalo Dry Dock Company in 1917 to be moved through the Welland Canal, going on to serve as the YANKEE under the U.S. Shipping Board. The Lehigh Valley Transit Company freighter BETHLEHEM is to the left of the GERMAN. The BETHLEHEM was also cut in half here in 1917, to be moved to Montreal. A scow is off of the BETHLEHEM's port side. "Nov. 24/17" is printed in the lower left corner of the pictured photo.
