On rising sea levels c. 1907
From the August 22, 1907 NYT:
Dr. R. F. Schaff of Dublin, a delegate to the International Zoological Congress...gave it as his opinion that indications point to the gradual submergence of the eastern coast of North America and the gradual upheaval of the Pacific Coast.
"Boston," he said," will ultimately sink into the sea. It will not happen in your lifetime, or mine. We cannot speak of geological changes in hundreds or thousands of years; they are very gradual, yet they do take place.
