#New York 1911

[pier-carlo-universe]

Il 25 marzo 1911, la città di New York venne colpita da una tragedia che segnò indelebilmente la storia del movimento femminile e delle lotte per i diritti dei lavoratori. Il disastro della Triangle Shirtwaist Company, una fabbrica situata nel Greenwich Village, costò la vita a 146 persone, di cui 123 erano donne, molte delle quali giovanissime immigrate italiane ed ebree. L'incendio è tuttora ricordato come uno dei più gravi incidenti industriali della storia degli Stati Uniti e ha avuto un impatto fondamentale sul movimento femminista e sul miglioramento delle condizioni di lavoro.

RMS Olympic arrives in New York on her maiden voyage.

Note: the paint peeling off at her water line. She encountered a storm during her voyage.

Like hitting a curb, Olympic catches the corner of the pier as tugboats maneuver her into her berth, leaving behind a long scrape near her water line.

View from the pier as onlookers and families greet the largest ship in the world to New York City.

Photographed on June 21, 1911.

RMS Olympic departs New York harbour on her first eastbound Transatlantic crossing.

"The pioneering aviator Sir Thomas Sopwith, attempts to drop a package onto the deck of the ship from his Howard-Wright biplane. The parcel contained glasses for a passenger. Pictured here turning for his second attempt, the first one aborted due to windy conditions, the parcel was released, only to miss and fall into the sea."
