USS Helena PG-9. Pearl River, China.

The picture was taken by my father, a U.S. Army officer, on July 25, 1923.
I have the original negative and scanned it for the first time today, 24 February 2008.
Because of the other negatives in the envelope are all of Canton and the Pearl River,
I surmise that Shameen is in that area.
