Salvage of USS F-4 (SS-23), April-August 1915
Salvage pontoons on the surface, off Honolulu, Hawaii, circa
29 August 1915, after the final lifting of the sunken submarine
in preparation for towing her into Honolulu harbor.
Note wooden protective sheathing around the pontoons. Salvage
equipment was devised by Naval Constructor Julius A. Furer.
The tug at right is probably USS Navajo.
