Arrival Arrive Arriving Dock Docks Lusitania Wharf
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment when the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner, made its first arrival in New York City on September 13, 1907. The image, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the ship's impressive bow and portside view as it gracefully docks at the bustling wharf. The Lusitania, a symbol of modern luxury and transportation, was the largest ocean liner in the world at the time and could carry up to 1,950 passengers. The welcoming crowd, eager to catch a glimpse of the magnificent vessel, is visible in the background, adding to the excitement of the scene. The photograph captures the essence of the early 20th century, a time of innovation and progress, as well as the country's growing fascination with international travel. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent figure in American photography, expertly documented this significant moment in history. Her photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the power of transportation to bring people and cultures closer together.
