in this picture and the other of the same boat, the gentleman seems to be very intently aiming a machine gun that has no ammo belt hooked up to it.

Another photo of Bluecoat in action, from the May, 1917 issue of The Rudder, with the caption: "Police Harbor Patrol Boat Bluecoat Built by the Gas Engine and Power Company 55 Ft Long 9 Ft Breadth Power 125 HP Speedway Speed 19 Miles " books.google.com/books?id=mS0jAQAAMAAJ&pg=PP12&lp...

A newspaper photo from April 11, 1917, with the caption "'Bluecoat, 'New Police Patrol Boat, Showing RapidFire Gun onDeck" chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1917-04-11/ed-...

Another picture of the same event ran in the Evening star. (Washington, D.C.) , August 12, 1917 with the caption: "Heap Big Chief getting acquainted with fire stick of paleface. Group of Indians, on a visit to the "U. S. S. Recruit" in New York to aid in recruiting, examining the machine gun aboard that "vessel." Chief Bald Eagle, leader of the band, is aiming the weapon." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1917-08-12/ed-...
