Notes: Elements in the image which help to date it: The first passenger vessel at Pier 1 is the S.S. President Grant with the next being the Vaterland, both of the Hamburg-American Line. The Vaterland went into service in 1914 and was interned in that same year at Hoboken; the Grant went into service in 1907 and was interned in Hoboken in 1914. Both were confiscated in 1917 when the U.S. entered World War I. (The Vaterland became the U.S.S. Leviathan and the Grant the U.S.S. President Grant.) At top left corner is a white building that is now known as the Lipton Tea building, but was erected in 1916 as the Hoboken Manufacturer's Terminal Building.
