In the first photograph in this series the water is high enough to float a canoe and partially submerge an automobile, as well as a horse and cart. The Hotel Bristol, located at Cumberland and Moore Streets appears in the background of the picture. The second photograph is of water being pumped out of the basement of the Hotel Bristol. The third photographs depicts two young men sitting on top of their automobile after most of the water had subsided. Many floods in Bristol were caused by the overflowing of Beaver Creek.
