Description
The photo shows water and waves extending entirely across the image into the horizon. A frothy trail in the foreground shows this was taken from the back end of a boat, the steamer SS Monteagle.
Commentary
Written on front of photo: "Pacific." From the context of its placement alongside the photo of E. Kyle Simpson on the SS Monteagle, we can surmise that this was taken on the voyage he took from Jan. 23. to Feb. 16, 1913.
