As you can see, the man is on a boat that was called the USS Skink. The image was reversed, so the image of the game "Reversi" was supposed to indicate that.
A new clue will be posted soon.
As a present for your patience, I'm going to give you an explicit ID clue. There have been others hidden about.

This is from a Time's article:
Engaged. Miss Harriet Winthrop McKim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop McKim of Tuxedo Park, to Augustus B. Field Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Field, of Manhattan. Both are direct descendants of Thomas Buchanan, 18th Century merchant, whose great landholdings in New York founded many a proud fortune.
Married. Miss Anita Damrosch, daughter of Walter Damrosch, famed conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, to Robert Littell, one of the editors of The New Republic; in Manhattan, on her 21st birthday. Granddaughter of James...
May not be important but it happened on November 17th, 1924.

Adding /'s in the numbers lead to 11/17/24, searching that on Google gives scripture in the first few results. Romans 11:17-24
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

Thanks for the assist, Bozongle. Wrong reasoning, but hey...the clue was good.
I dunno, folks. Neither of those strike me as good leads.

111724 can be broken down to many things...more than I care to list.
1/1/1724
11/1/724
1/11/724
11/17/24
etc.
And...well, this is further complicated by where the date/month/year is listed, it COULD be DD/MM/YY, MM/DD/YY, or even YY/MM/DD. See http://xkcd.com/1179/
Plus, we don't know if the year is abbreviated or not. Or if it even a date at all. Hopeless, gah.

There's nothing to suggest that, if it;s a date, it isn't MMDDYY. And the Sassy said it was obvious or clear somethingorother.

I don't think so; it's just that we're all busy.

Since this game died quite a while ago, I'm going to try to help it with a bit of cryptology. Below is the message digest of the username of an assassinator. If someone knows or figures out what this means and how to use it, then there'll be one less assassinator. If not... I'll at least bump the game a bit.
The digest is as follows: "320381dbf7cd2f31c04baa6b36e1c682"
