Men and boys around the seaplane Blue Bird, c. 1922

Large group of boys and men, and a dog around a beached seaplane named "Blue Bird."
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.
