    It lived a long life and graced the world with many branches, many leaves and lots of dappled sun.

IMPERATOR's damaged Eagle (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • 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:
    Figurehead of IMPERATOR (LOC)
    and one that is definitely on the ship
    IMPERATOR - figurehead (LOC)
  • 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.

    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.

    I like the old things :) It's very antique.
  • Janet Lindenmuth said:
    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/]

    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.
