  Title is wrong, it's "driven ashore" , like the boats in the next picture.

  Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it. "Driven" makes sense.

• Harry Angstrom said:

  Surely related to the typhoon, see next photo.

• cgfan said:

  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.

• 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. Abbreviated spellings are common, and in this case, the sources all abbreviate the word Japanese.
