Scope and content
The crew and possibly guests aboard the cold storage ship, "Glory of the Seas," are silhouetted against the white background and appear miniscule when compared to the large vessel. The ship is moored at the Glacier Fish Co. dock in February of 1922; among the items visible on the dock are pipes and oddly, what appears to be a bathtub. The "Glory of the Seas" was one of the largest cold storage plants afloat and was being dismantled after being in service for 53 years. This photograph was used in an advertisement in The News Tribune's March 22, 1922, edition. Maingault & Graham were the sellers involved in the dismantling process. G50.1-114 (TNT 3-22-22, p. 26-Ad)
