Alvin "Shipwreck" Kelly was born in Hell's Kitchen area of New York City in 1893. He became a fixture of the Roaring Twenties and the Depression Thirties. As a flagpole sitter, he led an incredible life; full of wild adventure as well as crazy twists and turns. His tale is a uniquely crafted turn of the century American story; a forgotten folklore crammed with intrigue, thrills, and spills.
