The relation of Hoboken to this image is that two men who may have worked at this yard on this vessel later worked at Hoboken shipyard facilities per donor Dorothy Butler. These two men were relatives of her: William Sankowsky, her grandfather on her mother's side; Ferdinand Sankowsky, her uncle.
The U.S.S. Kansas was built at this shipyard; launched August 12, 1905 and commissioned April 18, 1907.
