March 25 is the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, a tragedy that claimed the lives of 146 workers and led to broad reforms of workplace and fire safety regulations.
The Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York has created a comprehensive retrospective of the fire and its aftermath at triangleshirtwaistfire.com.
This picture shows the victim's bodies after they were taken to a covered pier near the East River to be identified by loved ones.
