Portrait of a woman, possibly Dorothy H Sterling on board E R STERLING, c 1913
This photograph depicts a young woman seated wearing a lace embroidered dress. It is possible that this woman is American shipowner, Captain Edward Robert Sterling's daughter Dorothy (or Dorathy) H Sterling. There is very little information available about Sterling's third child, though the 1910 United States Federal Census states that she was born in 1896 in Massachusetts.
