Metapan (visible at left) sits docked at the United Fruit Company terminal at Long Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts, before sailing to Panama for the Boston Chamber of Commerce trip; spectators view the ship from the windows of the terminal building and from atop the building. [Notes: Inscription on verso of similar vintage print in album KFC-043-001 reads, "Leaving Wharf Boston – Metapan." See also ""My Trip Abroad, Rose E.
