Wreckage of a House on Spring Garden Street After the Hurricane of 1938
From "The Great Hurricane and Tidal Wave, Rhode Island, September 21, 1938"; captioned: "Pawtuxet Cove... Three substantial residences once obscured this view of the horizon. It is a view looking down Spring Garden Street in Pawtuxet Cove, across the Cove to the gap on Pawtuxet Neck. The Wind and the water toppled houses like ten pins and carried them off into the Bay." (The house depicted was knocked over by a sailboat); Providence Journal photograph attributed to "RossKam"
