This photograph is of a Stonington schooner used in the granite business. Paul Stubing indicated that this photograph was taken from the Manset shore near the "Dutch house" by the Manset Town dock. There is a person rowing in a punt to the right of the photo.
Ralph Stanley said that her masts are far apart so that you could load big granite blocks.
