City gate in Stará Boleslav, Bohemia, the Czech Republic

from Swedish National Heritage Board - Riksantikvarieämbetet

    Tato brána se nachází ve městě Stará (Old) Boleslav, nikoliv ve městě Mladá (New, Young) Boleslav. Loc: 50°11'41.823"N, 14°40'25.799"E. Při zvětšení se zdá, že na jednom z plakátů je vidět rok konání nějaké sportovní akce 1937. To by mohlo být časové zařazení fotografie. Ale nejsem si jistý – mohlo by se ověřit na originálu.

    MONUDET: Once again you gave us the right location - you're really of a great help to us! :) This gate is indeed situated in Old Boleslav (Stará Boleslav) and not in New Boleslav (Mladá Boleslav). I found a modern photo of the gate on Wikipedia. It's taken from a different angle and the building close to it in the old photo is gone: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stara_Boleslav.JPG You also gave another very useful hint: I looked at the poster you mention in a high resolution scan. It says 1901 - 1927 Vsesportovni Slavnost. (Advertising some kind of sports festival?) Now we know more precisely when these Czech photos might be taken. Thanks a lot! / Díky moc! /Anna B.

    Are you ready for the insertion geotags?

    Díky za přidání odkazu na mapu. Ale moje souřadnice jsou přesnější, jak je vidět např. zde: maps.google.cz/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=cs&geoc....

Naming "America" (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • technogeo said:
    "The bottle was wired tightly between two horseshoes to facilitate its breakage while also symbolizing good luck." After four failed swings (two by Masson, two by Porte) the bottle slipped out of its horseshoe sling and rolled on the ground..."As a last resort, the bottle was trussed to the prow and Porte grimly assaulted it with a sledgehammer. Both the hull and Porte's wearing apparel were doused with foaming champagne, to the 'considerable merriment' of the onlookers." from "Glenn Curtiss, Pioneer of Flight," by C.R. Roseberry. Syracuse University Press, 1972. p.373-74
  • technogeo said:
    In contrast to Porte's overkill sledgehammer, Glenn Curtiss appears to be holding a small ball-peen hammer. The right tool for the job, as always.
