Homeward Bound U.S. Troops
On board the ferry lighter Knickerbocker ready to transfer to a larger ship for passage to the United States, in Brest Harbor, France, circa early 1919.
Note that Knickerbocker is fitted with a mast in front of her pilothouse. This feature was removed by at least May 1919.
Also note the troops' packs, with helmets and blanket rolls.
