About this object
The photograph shows damage to buildings at the corner of Tennyson and Herschell streets, Napier, after the devastating 3 February 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake and subsequent fire. The building directly behind the tractor belonged to Kinross White Limited. Sailors, probably from the HMS Diomede, are getting off the trailer in readiness to search for victims of the earthquake.
