Description

A view of fishing boats lining the various wharfs of Gloucesters harbor. The Baptist church on Pleasant Street is at left, with the tower of city hall to the right beyond a tall smokestack that may have been he power company at the time. The spire on far right is St, Ann's, though the perspective of the image makes it seem quite distant from City hall.
