Photograph showing the steamer English Monarch moored at Montgomery Dock No. 2 in Portland in September 1912. A cropped version of this photograph was published on Page 10 of the Oregon Journal on Sunday, September 15, 1912, under the headline “British Steamer to Load 260,00 Bushels of Wheat Here.” The photograph had the following caption: “The British steamer, English Monarch, Captain Walker, which arrived in port last week from British Columbia to load wheat for the United Kingdom under charter to Balfour, Guthrie, & Co. She is the first of the grain steamers to arrive here for the new crop season, and she will take out over 260,000 bushels of wheat. On her arrival at Montgomery dock No. 2, Frank Wilson, a watchman over the Chinese crew, fell dead as he was picking up a mooring line on the dock. The English Monarch will take out one of the largest cargoes of wheat that has been set afloat on a steamer here.” Image note: The text “British steamer English Monarch” is written on the negative and is visible on the left side of the image. The text “S. S. English Monarch” is written on the negative sleeve.
