This is the huge ocean liner the pups were cruising on. They may have been passenger dogs, or even Theodore Roosevelt's as the group of photos this was in was following the Roosevelts. There were general views of the ship included.
SS Kaiserin Auguste Victoria was an ocean liner built in 1905-1906 by Vulcan AG shipyard in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) for the Hamburg America Line. The ship regularly sailed between Hamburg and New York until the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914. At the end of hostilities, re-flagged the USS Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, she transported American troops from Europe to the United States. For a brief time Cunard sailed the re-flagged ship between Liverpool and New York.
The ship was refitted for Canadian Pacific Steamships (CP) and in 1921, she was renamed Empress of Scotland—the first of two CP ships to bear that name. from Wikipedia
