This photograph shows the sinking British steamship Antinoe just after the last of her crew of 25 meu. had been. saved in mid-Atlantic by the American liner President Roosevelt. The view is from one of the rescue ship's gangway entrances. To reach the reeling; water-logged, and doomed Antinoe, the President Roosevelt fought for 84 hours a nerve- wracking battle with hurricane-like winds and mountainous seas. Two of the President Roosevelt seamen paid for the gallant victory with their lives.
