A man sits at a desk at the Dubuque Boat and Boiler Works office at 550 3rd Street. The desk is covered with papers and there are several picture calendars on the wall in front of him. A day calendar from the WM Powell Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio (manufacturers of brass & iron steam engineering specialties), is open to Tuesday, June 11, 1912. There are also framed pictures of the paddle-wheel steam ships Sprague and Cherokee hanging on the wall. The number “192” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. No number is written in the upper left corner.
