Nordfyns Museum - Bogense, Denmark - Photos Then and Now on Waymarking.com

På billedet kæmper lokale med vandmasserne under oversvømmelsen i 1921. Den 24. oktober 1921 ramte en voldsom stormflod de indre danske farvande og store dele af de lave områder omkring Odense Fjord blev oversvømmet.

Menneskets kamp mod naturens mægtige kræfter har foregået gennem alle tider og høje vandstande er langt fra noget moderne fænomen. Stormfloden den 24. oktober 1921 ramte nådesløst landområderne og øerne i og ved Odense Fjord. Vigelsø i Odense fjord blev oversvømmet af Nordsøens havvand, der blev presset ind i de indre, danske farvande. Det samme gjorde den nordfynske kyst og mange af landområderne langs fjorden.

Billedet er taget ved Bogense banegård. Der i dag er indrettet som Museum og Rutebilstation.

English: In the picture, locals are struggling with the water masses during the flood in 1921. On October 24, 1921, a violent storm hit the inland Danish waters and large parts of the low areas around Odense Fjord were flooded.

Man's struggle against the mighty forces of nature has taken place through all ages and high water levels are far from a modern phenomenon. The storm flood on 24 October 1921 mercilessly hit the rural areas and islands in and by Odense Fjord. Vigelsø in Odense fjord was flooded by the North Sea's seawater, which was pushed into the inland, Danish waters. The coast of North Funen and many of the land areas along the fjord did the same.

The photo was taken at Bogense railway station. Today it is furnished as a Museum and Bus Station.

Year photo was taken: 1921
