EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Last Pilot Going Aboard Str. New York,' dates back to the early 1900s. The image, of unknown origin, captures a poignant moment in maritime history as a lone pilot makes his way aboard a steamship, likely the SS New York, moored at the pier. Dressed in a heavy coat and hat, the pilot gazes out at the water, perhaps reflecting on the journey ahead or the one that has just passed. The scene takes place in a bustling harbor, with other boats and a lifeboat visible in the background. The gangplank stretches out from the ship, providing a connection between land and water, safety and adventure. The pilot's role was crucial in guiding large vessels through treacherous waters, ensuring a smooth and safe passage for passengers and cargo. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches. It is an invaluable addition to the historical record, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the vital role that pilots played in the transportation industry during the 1900s. The image is held in the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring value.
