    Samuel Clemens, AKA Mark Twain, aboard a ship. While traveling aboard the Quaker City, he wrote dispatches home that became the basis for the book Innocents Abroad. During the Civil War it was converted to gun boat and then after that, back to a "Cruise Ship" that he toured the Mediterranean on.

    Interesting-- looks like he ran her aground in the fog which is strange because if one looks carefully there is what seems a lighthouse in the background. While I think not, This photo closely resembles Cape Race NFLD. where there are the remains of hundreds of ships on the bottom. Cape Race being what the old sailers called turning the corner in route for the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Which today is famous for the International St Lawrence Seaway. Great photo wonder if they ever got her afloat again.
