Photographed on 7 December 1923 near Newark, New Jersey, after striking a drawbridge while she was passing through Newark Bay enroute to the yard of the Federal Shipbuilding Co. where she was to be overhauled. A fleet of tugs finally dislodged her after hours of work. Freight traffic of the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania Railroads in Newark was disrupted by the accident.
