    Interesting - that looks like 1/2 a Lusitania life jacket. Neat story - thanks!

    Coooool, would be fun to have something like that from my Great Grand Father. He too was a forty-niner and
    had a town named after him in N. Cal. Made a fortune but settled in Carson City in 1859.
    Look up Rinckel, California. It's underwater now as they built a dam on his river!

    Saw that in the theatre in 1976, different times for sure!
