Former President Theodore Roosevelt departed for Africa on the Hamburg, bound for safari.
Roosevelt was still a fairly young man, and he had been a force in the nation far beyond the normal for a President. His departure was intended in part to try to give some breathing room for his successor.
Elsewhere in the greater New York City region, the Manhattan Bridge was photographed under construction on this day.
In Indiana Jones fan fiction, this is the birthday of Marion Ravenwood.
