View of old
Classic sight of how New York would have looked 100 yrs, back. Ships of all sizes along lower Manhattan, with the Brooklyn bridge spanning the east river. Air quality at the time would have been obscuring the view of the bridge.
Wavertree was buil in Southampton, England in 1885 and was one of the last large sailing ships built of wrought iron. She was built for the Liverpool company R.W. Leyland & Company, and is named after the Wavertree district of that city.
