Anarchism in America #22

This cartoon celebrates the United States' deportation of 249 (or 250 according to the New York Times) political radicals to Russia. Among those on the passenger list of the USAT Buford were the anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman.

Interestingly, after it was decommissioned, the Buford was used as the abandoned ship in Buster Keaton's film, "The Navigator."
