13293. (glass plate negative) Steamer Patria With Cargo of Whale Oil c.1900. Photo by William H. Tripp, New Bedford, Mass. Clear glass plate negative captures nicely large steamer at the New Bedford dock. Writing on paper sleeve notes that the casks of whale oil on the dock are covered with seaweed to keep the casks tight and prevent drying out in the sun. Large images measure 4” x 5” and are clear and close. Would provide clear print image. Rare image. (VG+). $58.
