Original 1947 press photo showing firemen and policemen placing a victim from the wrecked Island Queen into an ambulance following the September 9, 1947 disaster in Pittsburgh. A priest stands at right as recovery efforts continue. Although the mounted caption identifies this as an AP Wirephoto, the photograph itself appears to be a standard photographic print rather than a transmitted wire photo. Mounted on black archival paper with the original caption mounted below. Overall measurements are 7¼ x 8 inches. Light wear consistent with age. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
