Old Dragger at Stanley Fisheries

Paul Stubing indicated that this is a photograph of an old dragger (on left) which was owned by an Italian. He dragged usually by himself in and out of Manset. This vessel is tied up to the Stanley Fisheries in Manset. There is a lobsterboat tied to the float, which is rigged with a dragging net. Paul said that this boat was "wracked" (not symmetrical) because of hauling heavy loads. He said the tanks on the roof held gasoline which was pumped from a tank up to the roof holding tanks. Then the gas went by gravity flow through a hose.

The caption on the back reads, "Manset, Maine".
