Fire at the W.J. Boynton and Sons turpentine distillery in Tallahassee, Florida

from Florida Memory

  Accompanying note: "Firemen at far right, barely distinguishable, play a stream of water on a 6,000 gallon fuel tank just at the right of the main building of the W.J. Boynton and Sons Naval Stores refinery which was entirely consumed by fire this morning at an estimated loss of $175,000. Firemen played water on this tank for nearly an hour to keep the huge vessel from exploding and showering boiling fuel over the area."

  "naval stores" there's a term you don't run across much any more.
