5 x 7 glass plate negative photographed by Rosenfeld and Sons on October 3, 1925. Image of 260.4' Robert Steele & Co. ship TUSITALA (built 1883 in Greenock, Scotland) underway returning to port of New York. Visible in image: port quarter view of fully rigged ship, TUSITALA going downwind under fore, main, and mizzen courses, upper and lower topsails, topgallants and royals, seen just as she dips behind a swell, which rises higher than her decks. The TUSITALA (ex INVERUGLAS, SOPHIE and SIERRA LUCENA) was renamed in 1925 as the Samoan word for "teller of tales" and was used to carry cargo from ports around the world for Farrell Lines. For more information see: A CENTURY UNDER SAIL, text by Stanley Z. Rosenfeld, page 51. (NOTE: clouds added to image in book, not original to negative). CREDIT LINE: Mystic Seaport, Rosenfeld Collection. Typed on original negative sleeve: "10/3/25 / TUSITALLA [sic]" and stamped: "16961F".
