Crowd Greets Roy Jones and the "Northbird", July 17, 1922

News reports noted that "the weary aviators were given a tumultuous reception by the populace jaminng the dock fronts and rooftops with all the town's sirens, church bells, horns and steam whistles play a loud welcome home. After they'd tied up the two birdmen were lifted upon the shoulders of Jones' friends and cermoniously paraded through the cheering crowd along the street. Even the rain was held in check for the celebration."
