...hour before this picture was taken, the confetti-speckled, 9,644-ton liner Excalibur, carrying 114 vacationers and 130 crewmen, steamed down New York Harbor, bound for a leisurely cruise to Marseille, Naples, Alexandria, Beirut, Piraeus, Leghorn and Genoa. Thirty-five minutes after leaving her Jersey City dock, the Excalibur collided with the Danish cargo ship Colombia in the Narrows below Manhattan. The liner, gashed from its deck to below the water line, was ignominiously tugged to the mud flats off Brooklyn, and its unhappy passengers wound up (via harbor tug) back in Jersey City.

Jerome Avenue yard...
...sweltering Tampico, where the shrimp boats idled while their crewmen roamed about freely ashore, the U.S. skippers huddled with their lawyers and U.S. consular officials, trying to make up their minds whether to pay the fines under protest or post bail pending an appeal and decision of their cases. The time was ripe for both countries to stop trading such words as "poacher" or "pirate" and settle on a legal definition of territorial limits...
