The subject is the wreckage of a car called the *Chancellor* at North Haven, a place name taken from the negative and its caption cards, with no date recorded. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photography service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so it likely documents a newsworthy accident of that era. Because the title rests on unverified data, the details of the crash and the vehicle should be read with some caution. Glass plate negatives like this one still preserve fine detail of the period's automobiles and roadside scenes.
