Terrific photo and interesting info. There is a parkway in the Bronx near where I grew up called Moshulu Parkway; I wonder if there is a connection...(I think the parkway is spelled Mosholu though). #10809902

Agnes. The ship's history is fascinating. Here's a link to its Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshulu

The ship sailed all over the world and spent lots of time in New York so it's not surprising that there is a parkway named after it. #10809915

Always enjoy the artist taking a picture of the artist at work. The thrill here is that you have the talent to take advantage of the opportunity and bring us such gorgeous journalistic work that is a joy to see in your gallery. One can look at this picture and see that it is done my a master. Love it my friend. #10810216
