Col. Roosevelt on S.S. VANDYCK - departure 10/4/13 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Wystan said:
    Another angle: Here embarking on his voyage to Brazil, for a 1913-1914 expedition to explore the Brazilian jungle -- and eventually as well the 1,000KM "River of Doubt" (renamed the "Rio Roosevelt" following his triumphant return to civilization from the brink of death, after barely surviving a serious leg infection and malaria in the jungle, where he was surrounded by furtive, murderous aborigines, and rivers teeming with piranha).

Theo. Roosevelt on IMPERATOR (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Jim Rees said:
    June 1914. Here is a photo of Roosevelt with Harry Houdini on board: www.examiner.com/ny-in-new-york/houdini-and-theodore-roos... Roosevelt was recovering from malaria at the time and still had a bullet in his chest from an assassination attempt a couple years earlier. The Imperator was plagued by stability problems, fires, an overly complicated propulsion system, and a four year layup during WWI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Imperator
  • Wystan said:
    The unstoppable TR occupied the royal (or imperial) suite on the German ship, Imperator, returning from a quickie trip to Europe. (The Imperator docked at Hoboken, NJ, on June 24, 1914.) Earlier in the year, Roosevelt had returned from an arduous trip through South America, where he had nearly died while exploring the Amazon jungle. New York Times interview with TR aboard the Imperator, June 24, 1914: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D01E0DA1F39E6...
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan & Jim Rees, Thanks for the further information on Roosevelt's trip on the Imperator. We will add more detail to this description when we update the record.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, 1st Cavalry, U.S.Volunteers, ca. 1898

    The caption on this one reads "ca. 1898" but the date taken metadata says 28 October 1898. Is that just a mistake, or is the exact date now known?
