RANSOM B. FULLER
Image of the Eastern Steamship Company vessel RANSOM B. FULLER, location unknown. Visible in image: RANSOM B. FULLER underway, with passengers visible on deck, off an unknown coast. This photograph was made sometime between 1902, when she was built, and 1909, when she was lengthened by 45 feet ahead of her stack (according to comparison with other photographs of the vessel), but the exact date is unknown. Cataloger's note: This object is a film copy negative of a photograph by R. Loren Graham, one of the founders of the Steamship Historical Society of America, to judge by the label in the lower left corner. The identity of the copyist, the date at which the copy was made, and the circumstances under which this photograph ended up in the Perkins collection are not certain.
