Title:
Beached Schooner
Description:
This is a 6 by 8 inch photo in grayscale mounted on the back of a poster in a wooden frame. The frame measures 9 and 1/2 by 11 and 1/2 inches. The photo is frayed on the edges and has a black marking jutting up from the bottom right hand corner to the stern of the schooner. It is a two masted schooner in drydock. A U.S. Flag flies from the back mast. There is a bow spread. Anchored boats can be seen in the background. People are around the exposed hull and on the wharf. It looks old. The frame is damaged too. Pieces of the top layer of wood are chipped off. The paper backing on the reverse side has green and black lettering and the name "Addie Smith" is written in pencil in cursive. There is a single piece of wood in the center of the back running from the top and bottom sections of the frame. It is held in by two nails. This piece of bracing measures 3 and 1/2 by 9 and 1/4 inches.
