"Princes Kathleen" ran aground at Lena Point Sept 7, 1952. H.E. DeRoux did not take photos himself, but likely bought them & stamped them as part of his personal collection. H.E. DeRoux lived in Valdez for last several years of his life & died there. Photos may have been passed to friends who lived there. (Information from his son, Ken DeRoux, 10/5/02, who said his father abandoned family & they were estranged.)
