This boat with a special receiving was left by scientists of the U.S. Geological Survey in a trip through the Grand Canyon of Colo. in 1923. This set with the oars as an aerial picked up news of the death of Pres. Harding three-quarters of an hour after his death. This was quite some feat considering the set was 3,000 ft. below sea level and 100 degrees in the shade
