Description: 1926 Vintage Press Photo by INTERNATIONAL NEWS. New York.Captain Fried of the S.S. President Roosevelt being greeted by his wife as he returned to New York today following the heroic rescue of the crew of the British Freighter Antinoe in mid ocean. Members of the "Roosevelt" crew were given a great reception on their arrival here. George Fried, a sea captain with service in both the US Navy and Merchant Marine, is best remembered for his valiant rescue of the crews of the British steamship Antinoe in 1926 while captaining the luxury liner SS President Roosevelt and three years later the Italian freighter Florida while in command of the luxury liner USS America. Both of the ships he captained during the rescues were owned by the large United States Lines. Fried became familiar to thousands of Americans when his syndicated column "My Thirty Years at Sea", which chronicled his life and ocean adventures, was featured in major newspapers beginning in 1929.
