A port bow view of the passenger/cargo liner Minnehaha (1900) aground on Scilly Rock. The salvage steamer Linnet is portside-to off the Minnehaha's forecastle, just forward of the bridge. The salvage vessel Ranger (1880) is starboard side-to off Minnehaha's port quarter with the tug Victor (1898) outboard her. The photograph was taken from the sea looking towards the ship with the rocks in the background off the Minnehaha's bow. People can be seen working on the forecastle deck by the hatches discharging cargo. This photograph may be taken before 22 April as the anchors have not been laid off the starboard quarter and this is confirmed in negatives G13976 and G13977.

The Minnehaha ran aground on 18 April 1910 in fog on passage from New York to Tilbury. The 66 passengers, all First Class, and 171 crew were rescued and about 200 of the 243 steers (castrated young bulls) were landed on Bryher. The mixed cargo from Holds 2 and 3 were jettisoned, including crated new motor cars, grand pianos, machinery, sewing machines, carpets and other cargo going over the side to lighten the ship. Between 20 April and 11 May the ship was prepared for refloating (using compressed air to float it), and eventually came off the ledge. Minnehaha then proceeded under its own power to Falmouth.
