Caption Contest(!) — The World-Famous ‘Latitude 38’
Welcome to July’s Caption Contest(!). This month we’re sharing a photo that some of you may have seen before. It hails from 2018, and it does have a backstory, which we’ll share next week, but for now, we want to assure you that, according to the related news reports, no one was hurt. The photo was taken on Chesapeake Bay, by a firefighter on the scene.
