WITH NO SURVIVING RECORD other than these photographs to corroborate the theory, we can only speculate about exactly what day it was that the earth tilted slightly to one side.

However, certain vintage images may provide a clue, for instance this one of a young couple apparently dressed for their wedding day (weddings most commonly scheduled on weekends, that narrows things down a bit).

More important however is the courage displayed by individuals such as these two. Photograph after photograph in the collection reveals gallantry in the face of certain disaster, as well as, in this case, great sacrifice.
