From http://www.thehurricanearchive.com/Viewer.aspx?img=55655483&firstvisit=true&src=search&currentResult=0&currentPage=0 , this image shows coastal damage caused by Hurricane Dog in September of 1950. The image is taken by and believed by be copyrighted by the Associated Press. The image tag in the newspaper article says, "Storm Casualties — Owners and volunteers examine the wreckage of small craft which had been battered against the sea wall at Wollaston [Massachusetts] beach today as high surf pounded the Massachusetts shore line after hurricane backlash — AP WIREPHOTO".

[edit] Fair use for Hurricane Dog (1950)

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
2. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
3. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article.
4. Given its time period, it is very unlikely there are any free images available. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
