Framed Print of View of Santa Maura, destroyed by an earthquake, 1870. Creator: Unknown
View of Santa Maura, Leucadia, destroyed by an earthquake, 1870. At five o'clock on the morning of the 28th December a violent shock of earthquake was experienced in the Ionian Islands [west coast of Greece]. At St. Maura the shocks were so violent and so numerous that almost the entire town was destroyed...The barracks and orphan school and some Government buildings will have to be, wholly or in part, rebuilt before they can be again occupied. A violent shock of earthquake was felt at Smyrna on the evening of Dec. 1, but no damage of any kind was effected. At Manteche, opposite the Sporadi, on the contrary, the shocks occasioned serious consequences. The town of Ula was destroyed and three men were killed. Mamaritza and Mula suffered enormous injury. A great portion of the inhabitants of these places had to flee for their lives, and are in great misery. A Greek steamer has been dispatched from Corfu to Santa Maura, having on board soldiers, an engineer, and materials and provisions furnished by the Government. The Italian Consul has also sent a quantity of rice for the use of the sufferers; and we learn from a telegram received at the Admiralty that H.M.S. Bellerophon arrived on Sunday at Santa Maura with provisions for the inhabitants'. From Illustrated London News, 1870.
