The record names a Capt. B.H. Tillman in connection with Newport, but the title comes from caption data the Bain News Service wrote on the negative or its card, and that information has not been verified against other sources. Bain's agency, based in New York, supplied news pictures of people and events in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives were made for fast reproduction in newspapers. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion is unknown, but the format and the agency's practice place the picture in that busy era of press photography. Researchers should treat the identification as a starting point rather than settled fact.
