Storm-Blown Boats on Wollaston Beach, 1930 and Today

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

A striking comparison is circulating of sailboats blown ashore by nor'easters at Wollaston Beach in Quincy, Massachusetts. One photograph dates to August 1930 and was taken by noted Boston Herald photographer Leslie Jones; the other was shot at the same spot in September 2026 by Boston Globe photographer David L. Ryan, showing the scene repeating nearly a century apart.

Why now: A recent nor'easter pushed boats onto the same Quincy beach nearly a century after a famous 1930 photograph of the same scene, inviting comparison.
