Black-and-white aerial photo looking west of the waterfront from Twelfth St. to Weehawken looking west, Hoboken, no date, [1964]. 5-1/2" x 13-3/8" wide image on 11" x 14" print. Photo was copied from a printed image, source not indicated. Drymounted on matte board, reverse is blank.

In the shipyard and/or Navy docks are four ocean liners which according to ocean liner historian William H. Miller who dated this image and added: the liners were docked here because of an American seamen's strike. White vessels, south to north: S.S. Independence, S.S. Constitution, S.S. Santa Rosa and S.S. Santa Paula. This is the last time these liners were ever seen together. Three Grace Line freighters are in the upper right.
