EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the seizure of the World Flight vessel, steamer Frontiersman, in the United States. Owned by the esteemed Legion of Frontiersmen, this ship was intended to pave the way for Captain Macmillan and Captain Malins' ambitious world flight expedition scheduled for next year. However, fate had other plans as it was held up at San Pedro, California. The dramatic turn of events unfolded when a prohibition agent raided the vessel and made an astonishing discovery - 65 gallons of precious Scotch Whisky hidden onboard. This unexpected twist adds intrigue to an already compelling narrative surrounding this iconic photograph. Taken on September 14th, 1923, this monochrome image showcases not only a historical event but also serves as a reminder of how photography has evolved over time. Preserved by Central News and now part of Europeana Photography's collection, this print stands as a testament to its enduring significance. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to an era where exploration and adventure were at their peak. It reminds us that even well-laid plans can be disrupted unexpectedly but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries and conquering new frontiers.
