Artifact
Volcanic Ash
Description
Two clear, glass bottles with cork stoppers filled with volcanic ash from the Mount Pelée eruption on Martinique, in the West Indies (modern Caribbean).
Background Information
On May 8, 1902, Mount Pelée erupted with a roar and wiped out the whole town of St. Pierre which had a population of 30,000. There was only one survivor, a prisoner in an underground dungeon. After four days, he was discovered by two men walking through the ruins.
Charles Wallen was present on Martinique at the time of the eruption and collected this ash.
