Original 1947 press photo showing police and volunteers rolling automobiles scorched by the heat of the Island Queen fire away from the Pittsburgh wharf following the September 9, 1947 disaster. 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 6¾ inches. Light wear consistent with age. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
