The title suggests guns associated with something called St. Louis, but the record does not say whether that refers to a city site or a ship, since the wording comes from unverified notes the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its caption card. Bain was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives were filed and captioned as part of that work. The image is undated, so its setting and timing are best checked against the collection's catalog records before relying on the place or date.
