Title: USS Nero
Description: (1898-1922, later AC-17) Offloading a motor boat built for use by the new radio station on Unalga Island, Alaska, circa June 1912 during the Alaskan Radio Expedition. The boat was swamped in a storm on 12 September 1912 and gales thwarted efforts by the cutters Tahoma and Bear to raise it. Note the details of the cargo handling gear on this Navy collier, built in 1895 as a British freighter. Courtesy of the Naval Historical Foundation.
