This photo is a close up of the torpedoed stern. Wilder Penfield has annotated the photograph to indicate where he and some of his fellow American travellers - Elizabeth Baldwin, George Crocker, and himself - were standing when the torpedo hit. Several people are still standing on the ship, and more are standing along the dock next to it.
