Description
Guy Gannet’s photographers reported on the 1936 flood from seemingly every angle. Their photos culminated in several editions of magazine-quality pictorial reviews titled “MAINE FLOOD DISASTER OF FRIDAY, THE 13TH OF MARCH 1936.” The reviews comprehensively documented the flood and served as a blueprint for other special coverage events by Gannett Publishing Company. The varied editions often included photographs of flooded urban streets and automobiles navigating treacherous road conditions.
