Default Q: anyone know of a sea-rescue of an airman by the USS North Dakota?

I have a photo of a whale boat returning to the ship, titled "USS
North Dakota whale boat rescuing balloon man." It is not a motor
whaleboat, its rowed by hand - but there isn't any other details.
Always intrigued by such references - who was this 'balloon man'?
