. This black-and-white photograph captures the harrowing reality faced by an Arkansas family during the devastating flood of 1937. In Marianna, a small rural town nestled along the Ohio River, Edwin Locke's lens immortalizes their extraordinary escape aboard a homemade ark. As floodwaters engulfed their community, this courageous family took matters into their own hands.

In this poignant image frozen in time, we witness their determination etched on each face. The father stands tall at the helm, guiding his loved ones through treacherous waters with unwavering faith and strength.
