Description: Men, women and children crowd the decks of the steamer, apparently chartered by the College Point contingent of the Hudson-Fulton Association, whose banner is seen but partly obscured along the rail of the vessel. The occasion was the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, which took place from September 25 to October 9, 1909 in New York and New Jersey.
