In this Bain/LOC photo, taken at the docking of the IMPERATOR on July 17, 1913, Big Tim Sullivan is the tall man at the right. Dying of syphilis, maybe he already knew that he would be dead by the end of August:

LOC -- "Bowery" should be capitalized.

Wystan, Thanks for the information. We will add to the record and fix the typo when we update.

Any chance it might be this other Tim Sullivan? This looks to be Mott Street in front of old St. Patrick's.

This is the funeral of "Big" Tim Sullivan, on September 15, 1913. LOC -- "Bowery" should be capitalized.

Wystan, I think the funeral was on September 15, reported in NYT of Sept. 16. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C03E2D8123FE633A... "CLASS LINES VANISH AT SULLIVAN BURIAL; Judges and Senators Mix with Thieves and Gangsters for Last Tribute to Dead Leader."

@swang, Thank you; your evidence is incontrovertible.

Everyone, Thanks for the detective work on this image and the others of the funeral of 'Big Tim' Sullivan. We will update this record as well as the other related images to reflect the details.

LOC -- "Bowery" should be capitalized.

Wystan, Thanks for the heads up! We will fix that when we update.
