Wilder's Steamship Company pier at Honolulu, Hawaii, circa 1900

Hectic scene. Numerous loaded horse-drawn carts. Partially in view are the inter-island steamers CLAUDINE, KINAU, and HELENE. Information attached to the back of the large print: "Steamer Day at Wilder's Wharf. The Activity--Feverish and Frenzied. At the turn of the century Wilder's wharf presented a turmoil of activity when steamer day arrived. Here freight of varied description awaits loading aboard the Inter-Island steamers. CLAUDINE (left), KINAU (center) and HELENE (right) from low and high bed horse and mule drawn drays while impatient passengers (background) prepare to board the KINAU. Date 1900. For Hilo, Lahaina, and other ports. A common weekly spectacle." Gift - E.B. Scott.
