Title:
Fishing Boats Tied Up At Beal's Wharf
Description:
Paul Stubing said Ballard used a telephoto lense on a 4x5 Kodak and added he didn't use telephoto again.
The schooner "Rhode Island" is closest to Beal's. Then there are at least 13 large fishing boats, sardine carriers, tied up to the floats and/or rafted together. There is some type of harbor buoy in the foreground which looks like a "bell" buoy. In the background there are wharves and docks.
Ralph Stanley said the scow by the lookout for Beal's had a house on it which is where Lawrence Newman stored his salt pollock. They would sell the pollock to the stores in town.
