Beach Road Telephone Poles Listing After Hurricane

Handwritten Notes: "Beach Rd. V.H. 1944"

"1954 [not 1944]. A microburst went through this area in 1954 which accounted for the telephone pole list and the flattening of the Shipyard sheds - it was in the last half of the storm and came from the southeast." [WHR 1999]
