USS Buffalo (1898-1927, later AD-8)
At the wharf at Cordova, Alaska, between late July and mid-September
1914, during the 1914 Alaskan Radio Expedition.
Note the coal train on the pier in the background. The worn paint
around the ship's bow is evidence of the many times that she
had to use her anchors during the expedition.
