Original 1947 AP wire photo showing the converted LCIL Patria detained at a Baltimore pier. The Honduran-registered former war vessel required a State Department license before leaving the country and was also suspected of carrying arms. The separate caption is dated August 27, 1947. Measures approximately 7½x6⅜ inches. AP stamp on the back. Note the tape on the corners, areas of emulsion loss and typical newsroom/archive wear. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
