Paul Stubing indicated that this is a photograph of boats at float.
The sardine factory is in the background on the left side of the picture. In the foreground are three lobster boats with spray hoods. The one on the far left has the hull id# 1 B 852. There is a lobster boat with a wooden cabin and deck house wedged between the boats with the spray hoods. On the upper right hand side of the picture is a sailboat tied to a float with people on board. There is a rowboat to the stern of the sailboat.
The bigger boat is one that was owned by Wesley Bracy and built in Richtown.
