Aftermath of Boston Molasses Flood
The grainy filmstock flickers to life, its sepia base stained with Prussian blue anomalies, capturing the surreal aftermath of the 1919 Boston Molasses Flood. Steam-powered pumps roar at 80psi, their brass fittings gleaming as workers in rubberized canvas suits chip at amber-caked cobblestones with borax-crusted scrapers. A derrick crane swings overhead, its claw bucket dredging twisted streetcar rails and forensic-tagged debris—a Mason jar of marbles, a pocket watch frozen at 12:47 PM—from the viscous muck.
