Title
Men working on a beached seaplane Blue Bird, c. 1922
Description
Several men and a boy on the seaplane "Blue Bird" with a small boat upsidedown.
Possibly taken in conjunction with effort of Bert and Harold Krueger to fly from New York to Florida on their seaplane "Blue Bird" on 1 October 1922. They had engine trouble which caused them to land several times, and finally wrecked off the north Florida coast near Cumberland Island. No one was hurt.
