The caption links this negative to rescues from the Great Northern, a name carried by both a transcontinental railroad and several ocean steamers, so the record does not say which one is meant. The title is marked as unverified, and no date is recorded, so the specific occasion cannot be confirmed. The negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures from about 1899 to 1932, and its glass negatives often survive as the main visual record of such news events.
