Donna Hansen Douglas World Cruisers Photograph Collection

The Donna Hansen Douglas World Cruisers Photograph Collection holds two vintage black-and-white photographs taken in Kanatak, Alaska in April 1924. Both images depict the Seattle (No.1) Douglas World Cruiser afloat in shallow waters. People are near the aircraft, likely the pilot, Major Frederick Martin, and co-pilot, Staff Sergeant Alva Harvey. One of the images includes a caption: "First round the world flight plane, forced down at Kanatak, Alaska on peninsula west of Kodiak. Later crashed on flight to Dutch Harbor. No one killed. April 1924." Both images are 3.5 x 5.5 inches.
