N.Y. Greeks going home (LOC)

    The liner in the little cartouch on the carriage is the Olympic of 1911 - however I can't help but wonder if it's perhaps a mislabeled memorial to the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania, considering the "we are off to war," banner. Perhaps they were traveling by the Olympic...
  • Brandon McKinney said:
    Strike that - the banner refers to the Balkan War. The Lusitania would not have been torpedoed by that time. Woops. :-)
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Agreed. This photo does look like part of the set showing Greeks returning from New York for the Balkan War. One of the other photos is: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2387989588/ Thanks!

    The First Balkan War started in October 1912, and also Friday fell on October 4th in 1912, which would be consistent with the date shown on the poster. Webster Hall is a nightclub on East 11th street in NYC. (see poster). See next picture in series for view of Webster Hall from across the street. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster_Hall Gangster Bugsy Siegel had a father named Max, any chance he is the one mentioned in the poster?
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Glad you're looking so closely at these images! We'll update the source record, and reload here with the new date and war name.
