    This is a result of The Mississippi River Flood of 1912.
  • Paula said:
    Interesting. They called victims of the Katrina hurricane (2005) "refugees" too.

    More on this image www.loc.gov/pictures/item/ggb2004010512/ I recognize the The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley depot on Levee Street in Vicksburg on the far right in this image. Compare to flood scene in 1922 www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150214645297380&set...

    Another image of a Steamer docked at Vicksburg with the letter M between its smokestacks www.loc.gov/pictures/item/det1994021985/PP/
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks cbellh47, I think you are correct, this is Vicksburg. We'll add that to the description. I have a question for you all. I zoomed in on our TIFF file at hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/ggbain.10512 and on the top of the ship on the left, it looks like it says "Lucile". I did a little searching but could find no ship named Lucile that seemed to fit. I did find a ship called Lucile Nowland, that at one time docked at Vicksburg. If anyone can find an image to back that up, or discover another name, we can add that to the record.
