Description: (1898-1927, later AD-8) Landing construction materials at Kodiak, Alaska, in early July 1914 during the 1914 Alaskan Radio Expedition. The radio station built on Woody Island near Kodiak by the 1912 Alaskan Radio Expedition embarked in USS Nero was destroyed by fire on 27 July 1913 and the 1914 expedition in Buffalo built replacement facilities there.
