- (photo) Victorian Ladies Enjoy View Aboard SS Portland c.1897. Clear close image shows two finely dressed Victorian ladies posing on an exterior ladder leading to the bridge of a steamship. Back is labeled in pencil: “Steamer Portland destroyed in the storm November 1898”. From the comfiguration of the bridge, there may be a question as to if this is the actual SS Portland lost off Cape Cod on Stellwagen Banks – more research may be needed. If it is the case, this may be one of the few images in existence showing a view on board the vessel before its loss. Photo measures 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” trimmed and is clear, some thin areas where it was removed from page, pasted in an album, one small hole center. (VG+). $48.
