Title: [Photograph of U.S.S. George Washington]
One sepia-tone silver gelatin print of the ship that transported President Woodrow Wilson to Europe to sign the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I. Co-signed by President Wilson, Secretary of Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Captain Edward McCauley. Two other signatures are present and appear to read as "F.M. Perkins," a commander in the U.S. Navy, and "J.K. Peters," a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve Forces. A finely penned ink signature of "Thomas A. White" is on verso.
