Storm damage to Morecambe pier

• ... that in England, the 1903 Storm Ulysses overturned a train and badly damaged Morecambe's West End Pier (pictured)?

• Source: "A pier in Morecambe was damaged, and a train in Cumbria was blown over." from: "1903 Ulysses Storm among windiest ever in British Isles". BBC News. 24 April 2023. Retrieved 9 August 2024. The other source in the article details that the pier was broken in two places, which I think is enough for the qualifier "badly"

• ALT1: ... that the 1903 Storm Ulysses (damage pictured) was so named because its effects were described in James Joyce's novel of the same name? Source: "Storm Ulysses is so called because it inspired a passage in James Joyce's famous novel Ulysses." from same source as above

• I think the image is by T. H. Stephenson, who is probably dead for over 70 years. (Compare the signature here). So it might be PD in the UK?
• New enough, long enough, not copyvio (Earwig just finds direct quotes which are OK). Sourced nicely and neutral, no other policy issues. Hooks are sourced and interesting. I personally prefer ALT0 because we don't seem to have information on who called it "Ulysses". The image is just about OK at the size, certainly PD in the US and probably PD in the UK. QPQ has been done. —Kusma (talk) 16:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
