Their First Sight Of The New World -- It's a memorable moment for this Imperial Japanese couple as they catch their first glimpse of the New World from the S.S. Macom, New York's welcome ship, which carried Prince and Princess Takamatsu up the bay after they had been taken aboard from the S.S. Aquitania. High dignitaries representing the United States Government and the City of New York did the welcoming honors on the Macom as the salute of 21 guns was fired from Governors Island. October 4, 1931.
