| On the still, moonlit night of September 26, 1903, a tug urged the barge Harold out of what?s today the South Street Seaport and south past the Statue of Liberty. The Harold?s load that night was nearly 7,700 silver-and-lead bars. They were destined for the glowing Asarco smelters of Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The silver, and the smelters, belonged to the Guggenheim family, which had made its fortune in mining and smelting. | |
