Behind the Scenes of BREATHE: The Philadelphia Navy Yard. . On September 18, 1918, the first case of Spanish Flu in Pennsylvania was recorded at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, but authorities didn't do anything about it. The very next day 600 sailors became ill. And then the tiny killer jumped over to the civilian population. This second wave of the Spanish Flu would claim the lives of over 13,000 Philadelphians before it was done. . . #TBT #History #YALit #Philadelphia #SpanishFlu #WWI #authorsofinstagram #writersofig #romanceauthors #navy #sailor #epidemic #pandemic #throwbackthursday #BREATHE #authorinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn86FKCHr2r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xvelkpr42q3t
