Hmm -- according to this contemporary news report, there was a huge earthquake in Mexico two days earlier that caused pronounced shocks 2700 miles away in DC, so perhaps that's what this is about.

A big blizzard struck the whole east coast on March 2, 1914. news.google.com/newspapers?id=4rIyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=8lMDA... That's probably what caused the damage.

Its remind me the piece from gordon Matta Clark : Bingo [http://www.flickr.com/photos/drumzofthesouth/3540799284/]

Arden said:
j3net: I think you are correct that this image shows buildings damaged by the strong winds during the blizzard of March 2, 1914. A Washington Post article of March 3, 1914 describes shattered windows, blown off roofs and other destruction of property. We will add to the record when we update the database.
IMPERATOR's damaged Eagle (LOC)

Roger said:
The eagle was later removed and she chnaged to US and the UK owners and changed her name see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperator_%28ship%29

Wystan said:
The eagle's wings were torn off during an Atlantic storm, in early 1914. Rather than restore them, the company removed the entire figurehead.

Picture of figurehead (or possibly of a model) with wings:

and one that is definitely on the ship

swanq said:
The damage was on a trans-Atlantic crossing from Bremen to New York, arriving in New York on March 19, 1914. See next day's NYT: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30716FD3A5B13738...

The Library of Congress said:
Thanks all, for your information on the figurehead and when it was damaged. We will add some of it to the image description when we update.
