Photo #: NH 41832
USS S-4 (SS-109)
Being towed to the Boston Navy Yard, Charlestown, Massachusetts,
after being raised off Provincetown, Massachusetts, where she
had been sunk in collision with USCGC Paulding on 17 December
1927. Original caption gives this photo's date as 19 March 1928,
but it may have been taken the day before.
Note the salvage pontoons supporting S-4, four located
forward and two aft.
The ship immediately astern of S-4 is probably USS Falcon
(AM-28).
