Title	Fremont 1913 Flood Photographs
Subject	Geography and Natural Resources Climate and Weather Floods
Place	Fremont (Ohio) Sandusky County (Ohio)
Description	This photograph, taken looking west on State Street in Fremont, shows several men standing in the flooded downtown area. A second photograph shows the east side of Front Street, south of Croghan Street. The final photograph shows the intersection of Croghan and Front streets, looking south. The photographs measure 5.5" x 3.5" (13.97 x 8.89 cm). The 1913 flood in Fremont was caused by three days of rainfall, between March 23 and March 26. Floodwaters of the Sandusky River rose to six feet higher than they had ever been recorded. Some 550 homes were flooded, and approximately fifty of these homes were rendered uninhabitable or were totally destroyed. Four out of five bridges in Fremont washed away. The flood also took three lives in Fremont: Captain Floro, Frank Saller, and John Homan.
