St. Francis Dam: Edison Camp
St. Francis Dam Disaster
[Full View][Closeup][Another View (Not part of NLF report)]
Wrecked autos belonging to some of the c. 150 men who perished at the Southern California Edison Co. Construction Camp just west of the Los Angeles-Ventura county line. According to the text, "you will notice these automobiles scattered all over the entire field and at the left a stream crane being used to right some of them. An interesting point is that while the automobile bodies, machinery and tops were very seriously damaged, we did not see a single instance where one of the tires was broken."
Original caption by Almer M. Newhall reads as follows:
No. 15 Present condition former So. Cal. Ed. Co. Camp
From Plate VI.
