Steam Yacht Wakiva


Photographed circa 1910-1914, before the outbreak of World War I. A British armored cruiser (at right) and a U.S. Navy battleship are visible in the background.
Inscription on the original print indicates that Wakiva was then in use as a survey ship, and was associated with the New York Yacht Club. She is not the yacht that served as USS Wakiva II (SP-160) in 1917-1918.
The original image was printed on postal card ("AZO") stock.

Donation of Dr. Mark Kulikowski, 2005.
