S-11 in dry dock at Boston Navy Yard in Charlestown, MA., circa 1924, prior to her transit of the Panama Canal in October of that year enroute to California and then Hawaii. Some sort of work is going on at the bow in and around the torpedo tubes. The view is somewhat blocked by a barge that is in the dock with S-11. A block and tackle has been rigged and hangs over that location. Some crew has been doing laundry. A crewman stands on the deck near the gun.

Just visible on the aft deck is a hump that covers new mufflers for her diesel engines. These mufflers are larger than the original ones, and are probably water cooled, necessitating the larger covering and the distinctive hump.
