The big ship is 470 long and has a beam of 60 feet, will drawn more than 30 feet when she leaves down this week with freight, passengers, and mail for Japan. The top picture shows the Anyo Maru at Terminal No. 4, where she is loading cargo both from her pier and from barges.” The photographs accompanied a story headlined “Anyo Maru, Huge Mail Ship, In Port.” The text “Anyo Maru and Capt. J. Yawata” is written on the negative sleeve. See related image Nos. 376G0117 and 376G0119.
