Edgar Powell, 4 x 7.75 inch photo, 5.25 x 8.5 inch card, steam boat with sail masts in a harbor with a yacht tender, stamped verso. According to the family there was a post WWII note with this says Cornelius Vanderbilt ship. We date the photo to the late 1800s so it may be a Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt commissioned or owned ship photographed at the end of the century or a mid 19th century negative printed in the late 19th century or it could refer to Cornelius Vanderbilt II who was also involved with ships and sailing.
