St. Peter's Fiesta in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Men aboard the Fiesta Committee Boat struggle to replace the flag at the end of the Greasy Pole after an angry Salvi Benson, the 11-time winner of the contest and the guy in charge of greasing the pole, knocked down the flag when Gloucester police ordered him to move his boat away from Pavillion Beach before Saturday's Greasy Pole contest.
