Summary: Postcard of sailors in the "Solo Coffin" crash boat in motion on Pensacola Bay taken sometime in 1918. The back of the postcard contains the address to Rox Photo Shop, unknown if this was the photographer or simply printed the post card. The back also contains an archival summary detailing that the name "Solo Coffin" was given to the crash boat due to its nature as a rescue vessel in the case of pilot crashes on the bay.
