- The Library of Congress item record states: "No known restrictions on publication." Collection: Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, LOT 7677. Call number: LOT 7677 [item] [P&P].

The Library of Congress title is “The four inch cannon of the rum runner SENECA, which showered two Coast Guardsmen in K-13091 with shrapnel.” The photograph shows four Coast Guardsmen on deck beside a four-inch cannon and is dated 7 March 1924.
The title’s wording (“rum runner SENECA”) conflicts with the other Library items in this series, which identify the Seneca as the Coast Guard cutter chasing a rum-runner. The caption data is flagged as unverified. This page repeats the title as the Library prints it and does not resolve the conflict. The record also notes an N.E.A. Service copyright (1924); the rights statement quoted above is the one this archive relies on.
