Attempts to Refloat a Sunken Steamship
Sternview of a sunken steamship as attempts are being made to refloat her after she has partially sunk adjacent to the wharf. Neither the name of the steamship or the port is known. Alongside the steamship is a salvage barge with a large pump with suction hoses extended to the steamship to pump out the flooded steamship and discharge the water to the harbor. A second steamship is seen just ahead of the sunken steamship.
