The Aphrodite in drydock, at an unknown location. It was constructed at the Bath Iron Works in Maine, but the drydock is huge, as are the two vessels in the background.

Another photo of the Aphrodite. This photo and the photo directly left was received September 2008 from Rick Mundy who studied with the Marist Brothers both in Esopus and Poughkeepsie. He thinks he retrieved them from a junk pile in the Marist College darkroom. Both photos are marked mansion in pencil on the back
