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.
