Photograph; black-and-white photograph of Chambers Cove, St. Lawrence, Canada, possibly circa 1942; series of three photographs showing snow-covered terrain and Chambers Cove, probably taken from airplane; from Henry Strauss transcript in Sound Archives: "... this is Chamber's Cove where the TRUXTUN (built 1920) was wrecked. It was wrecked on one of the rocks in the bay itself. [Was this taken in war time?] No ... [although] if that is the hull behind the rock then this would not have been given to us at the reunion but would have been shot roughly within the time that the TRUXTUN (built 1920) went down. 'Cause I know she was sunk and kind of turned over."
