This print captures the yacht Ara in dry dock in October 1922, sparking concern over the whereabouts of millionaire William K. Vanderbilt and his crew. The image exudes a sense of mystery and suspense as the luxurious vessel, owned by Vanderbilt, is four days overdue in New York harbor.
The sleek lines of the yacht contrast with the industrial surroundings of the dry dock, creating a striking visual juxtaposition. The steamship sits silently on land, out of its element but still commanding attention with its grandeur.
