Brief views of a commercial steam ship sinking in U.S. waters, in 1919

A single funnel freighter, with two masts, is seen sinking from the stern, in U.S. waters, in 1919. Her aft section is already under water, with only her stern mast visible. There is no sign of life aboard the ship. Film is taken from another vessel nearby, that is rising and falling with surface waves. The sinking ship is going under rapidly, sternfirst.
