Photos Compare 1930 and 2026 Storm Strandings at Wollaston Beach

Original: Blown by nor'easter onto Quincy's Wollaston Beach: August 1930 by the great Boston Herald photographer Leslie Jones... .

A pair of storm photographs from Wollaston Beach in Quincy, Massachusetts is drawing attention: one shows a boat blown ashore by a nor'easter in August 1930, captured by legendary Boston Herald photographer Leslie Jones; the other shows a similar scene from September 2026 by Boston Globe photographer David L. Ryan. The side-by-side images suggest little has changed along the shoreline when powerful storms hit.

Why now: The striking visual similarity between a 1930 storm photo and a newly taken 2026 image of the same beach resonates with people following recent nor'easter weather.
