A bustling waterfront scene along the Pasig River near Manila's old Spanish walled city, Intramuros, photographed in the early 1900s. Sailing schooners and small native boats crowd the channel below the historic fortress walls, capturing daily commercial life in the Philippines in the years following the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars.
