Arrival of Prince Henry (of Prussia) and President Roosevelt at Shooter's Island Trailers

Here we show Prince Henry and President Roosevelt walking together up the gangway on Shooters Island, N. Y., on their way to the stand on which Miss Alice Roosevelt christens the German Emperor's yacht Meteor. Following Prince Henry and the President are Mr. Wallace Downey, owner of the ship building firm of Townsend & Downey, the sailors and marines from the Hohenzollern, officers from the United States Army and Navy, and the President's invited guests. A most brilliant and interesting picture.

Prince Henry and President Roosevelt walk together on Shooters Island to where Alice Roosevelt will christen the German Emperor's yacht "Meteor". Sailors and marines are also seen following behind.This film was shot on Shooter's Island, New York, at the Townsend and Downey Ship Building Co., on February 25,1902 in the dead of winter. As you can see it was pretty windy as well. The film is decent at best.5* (10* Rating System)
