Description

An oversized black and white photograph taken by Rollie McKenna of Stonington borough from the air. It is primarily of Long Point - from DuBois Beach to the northern end of the Atwood Machine Company/Monsanto. There is a wonderful view of Wamphassuc and some of the other points to the west, and the outer breakwater is also visible. Rollie McKenna's stamp is on the back along with a note: "Stonington Borough, on what was once called Long Point, lies between Stonington Harbor to the west and Little Narragansett bay to the east." There is also a Stonington Free Library stamp on the back, which may be where it was originally. This is a large print pasted to a cardboard backing. The corners are showing wear, and there are one or two creases in the photograph itself, but the condition is still relatively good.
