S.S. "Coptic" at Dock

Taken at the docks of the Pacific Steamship Co., San Francisco, Cal., which is operated in connection with the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. The "Coptic" is one of the best appointed, largest and fastest vessels that traverse the Pacifie Ocean, and this view was taken as she was leaving for a voyage to Sandwich Islands, Japan and China. The multitude of people crowding the decks and dock, waving hands, hats, &c, to each other, makes a stirring and lifelike scene. The picture is clear and sharp and the figures show life size.
