Summarium

Descriptio	English: This is an image of the transport Seneca, used by the United States to move troops to Puerto Rico and Cuba in the Spanish-American War. According to information posted by Patrick McSherry at 5, Seneca was built in 1884, had a displacement of 2,820 tons and a speed of 11-14 knots. Chartered from the New York and Cuba Steam Ship Company for $450/day, she carried part of the 4th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry to Puerto Rico, and 32 officers and 656 enlistees to Cuba from the following units: 2nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry; 8th U.S. Infantry (2 companies); and Headquarters 1st Infantry Brigade, 2nd Division. She also saw use as a hospital ship. (See '"Seneca Passengers Free" , The New York Times, 23 July 1898.) The handwritten notation is by the uploader's grandfather, A.M. Kiplinger, then of Summit, Smithfield Township, DeKalb County, Indiana, the original owner of the scanned print.
