Charleston Sites After 1911 Hurricane

Description

Five photographic postcards (scans) showing Charleston sites after the hurricane of 1911:

a: View of The Battery with damaged railings. Two women walking. Sailing ship close by in the water. Missroon House and the Carolina Yacht Club in the background.

b: Hurricane debris at the Consumer Coal Company wharf, located on the Cooper River at Concord Street.

c-d: Hurricane debris on Middle Atlantic Wharf in front of the W.H. Shingler & Co. building. Shows the railroad tracks in front and a boat that washed aground. Photo C is a more expansive view of the scene. Photo D has "1910" handwritten on the photo but the date was likely added much later and is incorrect.

e: South Battery across from White Point Gardens after the storm.
