Title: USS Buffalo
Description: (1898-1927, later AD-8) Transporting construction materials ashore at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, in May or June 1914, during the 1914 Alaskan Radio Expedition. The construction lumber is loaded on a pontoon built by the ship that consists of two of the ship's boats joined together by a rectangular deck on top. The pontoon is connected by a towline to one of the ship's steam launches, in the background, which will tow it to the shore. Note the tiller and rudder on the pontoon.
