[Managers Bobby Wallace, St. Louis AL & Hal Chase, New York AL (baseball)] (LOC)

    Hal Chase seems to be the only person involved in baseball in the early part of the 20th Century who wasn't butt ugly.
  • clarewhite20 said:
    I believe that this is Hal Chase when he was with the New York Highlanders who later became known as the Yankees. Chase later played for the NY Giants, which could lead to confusion. As for Wallace, he is representing the team known as the St. Louis Browns who later moved to Baltimore to become the Orioles.
  • aware health said:
    According to Jimmy Austin in The Glory of Their Times, Chase was a real jerk, and was made manager this year after he complained to the owners and ran off the previous one. (That might explain the friendly look on Wallace's face.) Said Austin: "Well, you know how good a manager Hal Chase was: so good that he took over a club that finished second in 1910 and took them straight to sixth place in 1911. And the year after that they wound up last."

    @Mark in Nova Beg to differ. This fellow looks like a movie star. www.photistoric.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/13527u_Pho...

    The Browns played in St. Louis through the 1953 season, moving to Baltimore in 1954. . .The Browns won their only AL pennant in 1944 when they played in the last World Series in which ALL of the games were played in the same ballpark. The Cardinals and Browns shared Sportsmans Park in St. Louis. The Cardinals won the NL pennant in 1944 and beat the Browns in 6 games in the '44 World Series.

Holland America Life Boat Drill - stripping the boats (LOC)

    this one is related to the others much further downstream, SS Statendam

Drill, Holland America Line - life boats ready to launch (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    the rings show this is the SS Rotterdam. 5 boats might indicate Rotterdam III, however her service dates were 1897-1906, so it is probably Rotterdam IV 1908-1940 which would mean 2 more boats would be to the right of the ones shown.
  • Lewis Wyman said:
    On closer inspection, the ring (flotation devices?) indicate the S.S. STATENDAM. Do you think that this is the correct ship? Could the following also be the Statendam? flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2787140790
  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    It's really difficult to say. When I sharpen and enlarge this one it looks more like Statendam, When I do the other one it looks more like Rotterdam. Both ships are very similar is size and layout so it is probably impossible to say for sure, though I think it is most likely Statendam based on having 5 lifeboats in the photo and not 6.

    Hello nudecowboy, If you haven't already, be sure to check out the higher resolution TIFF file at the persistent URL above. Much more detail. Thanks!
