Van Ness near Clay May 7, 1908
Great White Fleet Naval Parade. Elevated view northeast to soldiers on horseback marching in both directions. Heading south are two artillery caissons, on which soldiers/Marines with arms crossed are sitting on ammunition chests. The parade marched north on Van Ness to Washington St., then turned around and marched south. Across Van Ness on right is B. Kantner furs and John W. Holetz ladies tailors at 1716 Van Ness. There is a packed grandstand at the southeast corner of Van Ness and Clay, and people lining the street and on rooftops. Russian Hill in background.
