Survivors of "DENVER" (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Jim Rees said:

  Late March, 1915. The Denver was carrying survivors from the Carib and Evelyn when it was sunk, and the survivors rescued by Megantic and Manhattan. So some of these people survived two sinkings. news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2249&dat=19150401&...

• Art Siegel said:

  I deduce from that article and the date on the negative that these are the 16 Denver survivors aboard the SS Megantic, which arrived before the remaining Denver, Carib and Evelyn survivors on the Manhattan were brought to New York on April 1, 1915. Therefore, this is probably the Denver's rescued crew. See note under

• Barbara (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks for providing the background--quite a story! We can add some information when we next update the record.

Cardiff mine disaster (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Looks like it might be the Senghenydd Colliery Disaster, the worst in British history--439 men died in an explosion or from being trapped in the damaged shafts, on 14 October 1913: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senghenydd_Colliery_Disaster

• swanq said:

  I agree. See www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/GlamEast/Senghenydd.htm for a photo of the same site. More pictures are at the National Library of Wales: digidol.llgc.org.uk/METS/SEN00001/frames?div=0&subdiv...

• Anne (LOC P&P) said:

  pennylrichardsca and swanq: Thanks for the additional infomation. We'll include it in the record next time we update.
