English: Princess Sophia on Vanderbilt Reef, 24 October 1918 at 11:00 am. This view is looking NE towards the coast of Alaska, which can be dimly seen on the right. The warning buoy (day mark only) at Vanderbilt Reef is clearly shown. This is photographer's image number 52. A life boat is being lowered over the side. This appeared to rescue ships initially to be an effort to evacuate the ship, however the boat was being lowered to inspect the damage to the hull of the stranded vessel. Rescue ships may have been as close to the vessel as this photograph appears to show, as one was reported to have tied off to the buoy show in the foreground of this image. The buoy shows presumably a black starboard buoy from the time before the modern lateral system (starboard: green) was introduced.
