Historic Boston storm photos resurface as nor'easter hits
Original: Blown by nor'easter onto Quincy's Wollaston Beach: August 1930 by the great Boston Herald photographer Leslie Jones... .
A nor'easter has blown a sailboat onto Wollaston Beach in Quincy, Massachusetts, drawing comparisons to an August 1930 photograph of a similar scene taken by Boston Herald photographer Leslie Jones. The modern image, credited to Boston Globe photographer David L. Ryan, is being shared alongside the archival shot, highlighting how the same stretch of coast has weathered nearly identical storms almost a century apart.
Why now: The current nor'easter striking the Boston area is prompting people to share striking images of storm damage and compare them with historical photographs of past storms.
