  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Stokowski "Leopold Anthony Stokowski (18 April 1882 – 13 September 1977) was an English conductor of Polish and Irish descent. One of the leading conductors of the early and mid-20th century, he is best known for his long association with the Philadelphia Orchestra and his appearance in the Disney film Fantasia. He was especially noted for his free-hand conducting style that spurned the traditional baton and for obtaining a characteristically sumptuous sound from the orchestras he directed."

  The New York Herald., May 14, 1921, Page 9 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045774/1921-05-14/ed-... reported that Stokowksi and his wife would be on the Olympic that day, sailing for London.

On UPSHUR (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• rarefruitfan said:

  I'm curious if the date on this (marked as 1915) is correct, as the online sources on the USS Upshur (DD-144) all say it was built in 1918, and another source with this photo says it was taken in 1918 too. www.navsource.org/archives/05/144.htm

  rarefruitfan The note is "between ca. 1915 and ca. 1920", I can't see a date on this photo, but the caption on the next is 1/3/19 www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/30684894601/

• B-59 said:

  The New-York tribune., January 04, 1919, Page 7, col. 5 reported that "the destroyer Upshur came in from Fire Island with 230 wounded man and landed them in Hoboken." It's likely this episode. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1919-01-04/ed-...
