This postcard features a black and white photograph of the "Floating Hospital No. 2," operated by St. John's Guild in New York City. The vessel depicted, often identified as the "Helen C. Juilliard," served as a hospital ship for children and mothers, offering medical care and sea air. Such postcards from the early 20th century were commonly used to document the maritime history of New York and the charitable work of the St. John's Guild. This card dates back to July 20th, 1908.
