West Shore Railroad Terminal, Hudson River Harbor, c. 1900s
A hazy harbor view captured from shipboard shows the West Shore Railroad's pier terminal along the Hudson River, likely at Weehawken, New Jersey, opposite Manhattan. Tugboats and rail car floats crowd the water while a four-masted sailing vessel lies moored at the dock — a glimpse of the bustling commercial waterfront that surrounded naval vessels operating out of the New York area in the early twentieth century.
