PRESIDENT HARDING (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• TVL1970 said:

  Given the date inscribed on the negative, "10/28/25", and "President Harding" caption, this is the ship SS President Harding, arriving in New York Harbor after it rescued 28 members of the crew of the Italian freighter, SS Ignazio Florio in the North Atlantic, on October 21, 1925. The Italian freighter was floundering and suffering a list of 30-degrees in rough seas when the President Harding came upon her, and was able to rescue 28 souls before the Italian ship sunk below the ocean's surface. See: "How an Invisible Lifeline Rescues Men from the Sea - A Story of Heroism Made Possible by Wireless", Page 11, Popular Science Monthly, January 1926 See also (unfortunately behind a pay wall): "CHEERS GREET LINER AND 28 SHE RESCUED; President Harding Arrives Four Days Late, Bringing Crew of Freighter Saved in Storm.
