The steam ship "Hawea" run ashore at the entrance to the Grey River, Greymouth, 30 October 1908

    A great shot, but a tragic sight. I never realised that the Grey River is so dangerous, but then again, the West Coast can be pretty rough...

    Terrible event, but what a wonderful photograph!
  • Marcello Sokal said:
    Great one!

    @Jens @Lu There are many shipwreck photographs in our collections - some of them are extremely poignant. I suppose today we have no conception of just how risky sea travel was. -- Courtney

    With storms hitting the US, there's a spooky coincidence that this one ran aground on this day 104 years ago

    NYTimes has story from Sept 27, 1912 about Japanese Typhoon: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0DE5DF133CE633A...
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    I doubt this is the 1912 typhoon you mentioned. I can't imagine how a typhoon that came ashore in Osaka could still have enough force to toss boats in Tokyo. I'd like to figure out when this typhoon was - best guess I have after a couple hours of web searching (in Japanese and English) is 1917, but that's outside of LoC's target range of 1910 to 1915. I posted some info on the Meiji Maru photo.
  • Brian G. Kennedy said:
    I don't think the boat was anchored on the coast. It looks more like a river boat or a small inland fishing boat that was probably anchored a mile inland and was raised up by either a wave surge or flooding. There could be a little river very nearby.

    Please reconsider retitling this photo to spell out Japanese. The abbreviation chosen is offensive to many and reverts to the dismissive terminology used during WWII and is out of place in this day and age. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for understanding that no offense is intended. We retain the original title of a photograph as part of preserving the historical record. The Bain News Service photo titles are available from several sources—typed in the set of caption cards consulted while making the scans, hand-written on an older set of cards, and etched on the negatives themselves. In this case, the abbreviated term is the only form found.
