Description: 1929 Vintage Press Photo by WIDE WORLD PHOTOS. New York. New York's thousands paid tribute to Captain Fried and the heroes of the Florida Rescue today when they parade from the Battery up Broadway to City Hall, amid a storm of ticker tape, and were formally welcomed by Mayor Walker. Photo shows the parade moving up Broadway with the automobile bearing Captain Fried, Chief Officer Manning and Police Commissioner Whalen in the van. George Fried, a sea captain with service in both the US Navy and Merchant Marine, is best remembered for his valiant rescue of the crews of the British steamship Antinoe in 1926 while captaining the luxury liner SS President Roosevelt and three years later the Italian freighter Florida while in command of the luxury liner USS America. Both of the ships he captained during the rescues were owned by the large United States Lines. Fried became familiar to thousands of Americans when his syndicated column "My Thirty Years at Sea", which chronicled his life and ocean adventures, was featured in major newspapers beginning in 1929.
