Description
Title
Talbot
residence
after
the
Swatow
Typhoon
Photographer
Mee
Cheung
Date created
1922
Description
Swatow
Typhoon
was a
devastating
typhoon
that
caused
the
death
of
thousands
in the
Chinese
city
of
Swatow
in
August
,
1922
. The
total
of
deaths
make
it
one
of the
deadliest
known
typhoons
in
history
.
Note
with
photo
:
Our
townhouse
.
You
can
well
imagine
the
condition
of
things
inside
the
house
with the
roof
gone
and a
torrential
rain
.
It
was in
nearly
as
bad
a
condition
as
our
Masu
house
.
Note
the
strange
re-arrangement
of
beams
on the
top
of the
house
at
one
point
. The
veranda
roof
is
badly
done
in and the
bathrooms
on the
veranda
were
carried
away
. In the
foreground
is
the
kitchen
which
is
alright
. The
furniture
was
all
soaked
and/or
broken
.
Luckily
our
winter
cloths
were in
tin
lined
boxes
. The
garden
and
flowers
were
ruined
.
