The last Emir of Bukhara, 1911.
Hydroelectric station.
A fireman holding one of the victims of the SS Eastland disaster.
Over 800 people died, many of them drowned, and others suffocated and crushed below decks as the ship flipped on its side in just 20 feet of water. Some died of blunt force trauma or drowning after being struck by objects thrown by bystanders, who were attempting to give the people in the water something to hold onto.
70% of the victims were under 25, and about 300 of them were teenagers, children, and infants.The boat was a company sponsored picnic excursion and many of the victims were poor workers and their families, hoping for a fun afternoon out.
Many witnesses recounted the screams from the victims, both those trapped inside and the people clinging for life in the murky water.
>God, the screaming was terrible, it's ringing in my ears yet
Another witness, who heard the screaming from blocks away, said:
>People were struggling in the water, clustered so thickly that they covered the surface of the river. The screaming was the most horrible of all.
These are my favorites. You can look at the rest of the fairly extensive series here:

Spring of Nations took place in 1848 which is already in the age of photography yet there's so little. Here is a barricade in Paris perhaps someone has more photos from other countries?

Apparently some of the oldest historical photos there are, not much older than yours. None of them show the revolutions though.

Wellington was photographed. If only Napoleon lived a long life there's a chance he would've been photographed as well. Probably old enough to be unrecognizable but still mindblowing. Someting that a portrait can't portray.
There's something off about the photos from 1840s-1850s. People look like ghouls and everything is always grainy and unreal.
>>2701554
For comparison a photo from 1860s.
>>2687484
quite the athlete

He jumped into the water of Rabaul Harbor to rescue a burned marine pilot who was shot down while bombing the Japenese fortress of Rabaul. He took his clothes off for any swimming inconveniences and since the Japenese were still firing he had no time to take his clothes back on once he got back.

I want to know what's the story behind this because I doubt the official police photographer got the instruction to pose them like it's a promo for a Michael Mann movie.

thanks!
We've never had a thread about rare historical footage. It could be pretty cool but I wonder if there's even a point if it's just gonna be a bunch of youtube links from channels like British Pathe though maybe someone will find something unique and rare that nobody knew about.
