INSERT HISTORY AND PICTURE

September 2nd 1965, Kennedy swam to ship in high seas. Newport, R.I. - Boat swain mate l/c Sam E. Harris, 26, of the U.S. coast Guard points to map to locate approximate position where he pulled Sen. Robert F. Kennedy aboard a small coast Guard Cutter in 20-foot seas and 40-mile-an-hour winds off the Massachusetts coast on Sunday. The cutter was dispatched to contact the Senator abroad the yacht Neris, when radio contact failed, to inform him of injury to hi daughter Kathleen. The waves were so high the cutter was unable to pull alongside. Kennedy, dived into the ocean and swam to the cutter. Harris was injured when the cutter slammed into a trough on the way back.

Portrait photo
Hi all,

I added a more higher quality portrait into the infobox.

For reference in case it gets reverted, the image was/is this:

Let me know if you support or oppose the image change.

Thanks,

I like this photo, but I still prefer his official U.S. Senate portrait (Image A) which is the current profile pic. Oluwasegu (talk) 22:13, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Additionally, his face is bit blurry in this Image D pic and I don't necessarily like the dark gray background. Oluwasegu (talk) 22:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * This is not an improvement over his current senate picture, nor the one that was up for years, which is the original listed number A from the choices in the thread above from January 2023. Kierzek (talk) 22:21, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Mainly also introduced this image for discussion also because it wasn't uploaded at the time of the discussion in Jan 2023. Personally, I find the current image an awkward crop of Kennedy's likeness, with what I assuming is a signature in the corner being rather off putting. In that particular thread, I would have voted a different option since the image I am proposing was not there. KangarooGymnast (talk) 22:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
