Way to persevere in getting the collection. Batso would approve!

Dang if that ain't some regulous picmonous.
And to think, Triple Crown meant something completely different on those walls.

Some more scans that I did today.
Can anyone verify if this is Wino Tower? Could be the summit I suppose. I remember Warren mentioning that Christian Brothers was his best sponsor of the climb. I flipped the picture horizontally as I realized the labels were mirrored.
P.S. It turns out that Park Rat is correct and that is not Admiral Batso but Admiral Basil.

Thanks for the pics.
Looks like your slide scanner leaves a lot to be desired. What are you using?

The "Wino Tower" shot seems unlikely. Lots of fresh fruit it it, artful arrangement of rocks... Maybe at the top, or perhaps somewhere else entirely?

Awesome. Great stuff and couldn't be in better hands.
Many treasures are coming, I sense. Wino Tower and that rocket car are up there so far. Oh, and the Admiral of course!
TFPU!

Admiral Batso?
Well yes and no.
As we all know this history thing is like dominos and once they kick off it is impossible to stop them. The connections are endless.
The shot of Harding as the Admiral is on the yacht Bimi, which belonged to Basil who was the father of Beryl who was Hardings squeeze at the time and in reality for quite some time. Now Basil is the great grandson of Nathaniel Bowditch, rightly so considered the father of navigation. I would imagine this photo is taken during the Master Mariner Race on SF Bay. That is Basil's hat and he was the only person I have ever knew that could out-consume Harding when it came to alcohol.
For a little more history, here is a little write up I did a while back on the boat, the people and the times. Ah, thems was good days!

Park Rat you could be correct as it may well be the true Admiral, Basil Knauth, but it does look somewhat like Warren.

I thought this thread was going to be about soccer or some other silly team sport. Quite the opposite. Glad I clicked, thank you for the awesome photos!
