    November 9-11, 1913: a blizzard, an ice storm, a gale, a hurricane -- all ravaged the Great Lakes in the area of Cleveland, Ohio. At least 235 sailors were drowned when twleve commercial ships sank in Lake Erie. A brief history of the disaster: www.ohiohistory.org/etcetera/exhibits/swio/pages/content/...

    This image, of the Hotel Collinwood, was taken in what was at the time Collinwood village, and what has since been annexed to the city of Cleveland. The hotel was located on the west side of Collamer Avenue (now East 152nd Street), the fourth building north of Collins Avenue (now Saranac Road). The approximate location can be seen in Google Maps.

    How do I know this? In the plate glass window in the center of the picture, I've noted the name "Collinwood Hotel Restaurant". It can be seen in the center of the inset in this detail of the 1903 Sanborn fire insurance map for the area:
    1903 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of Collinwood (detail)

    The shape of the building in the photo corresponds exactly to the shape of the Hotel Collinwood building on the Sanborn map. The street numbers do not correspond due to a change in the numbering system for the streets that occurred in 1905.

    Further evidence of the location is provided by this plate from the 1921 Plat Book of the City of Cleveland. It shows the correct profile for the building, and gives the address as 630 - the number shown on the building in the photo. A streetcar is visible, slightly out of focus, at the right edge of the photograph. This corresponds to the streetcar tracks shown on the map in the Plat Book.

Children's Room - Mauretania

    What really IS unusual is that the base of the rocking horse is not ''complete''..normally the base of this type of rocking horse, {Marqua stand or Swing stand} has a cruciform shape, with cross pieces to give stability. I wonder if the horse was moved from it's usual place for the photograph, and there looks like a bolt is visible at the ends of the stand for it to be firmly bolted down while the ship was in motion. This would mean cross pieces were not needed{?}

    I think she may be The Wicked Witch of the West, rushing to catch the tram, 'cos she left her broomstick in Oz. Interesting to compare with a LOC image on flickr (ignore some idiot's remarks about Saint Patrick!) -

    Was there some special anniversary or occasion for people to put out so many flags? And what's the quartered one on the left?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Yeah, what an idiot! ;) Well, at least we know the trams were electrified in 1898, so circa 1900 is ok for the moment...

    John Spooner There must have been, mustn't there? Never seen such an array of flags in our photos without some event or other... Naval visit perhaps?
