The Library of Congress title is “Unloading M.M. GARDNER.” The Library’s summary says, citing the Flickr Commons project, that the boat was caught with cases of bootleg alcohol and a large amount of gold off the shore of New York City. That account comes from the Flickr Commons note, not from the negative’s own caption, and this archive does not add to it.
The negative is a Bain News Service glass negative in the George Grantham Bain Collection, dated between about 1920 and about 1925. The copy stored here is the Library of Congress service JPEG.
