Photograph showing unidentified people aboard a U. S. Coast Guard motorboat. Written on the negative sleeve is the following unverified text: “Point Adams Lifeguard Station / ‘New motorboat of lifeguard in which Bjelland and his men went out in the gale to the rescue of the Floridian’ / 10/22/1934.” “Bjelland” probably refers to Lars Bjelland, a Coast Guardsman at the Point Adams station. The caption may refer to a storm that occurred the weekend of October 21-22, 1934, which damaged the steamship Floridian. Also see image Nos. 371N0241, 371N5711, 371N5712, 371N5713, and 371N5715.
