Description
Digital image of sepia-tone photo of Bernard McFeely, Fred DeSapio et al waiting to board a dayliner for DeSapio Democratic Association outing, Hoboken, no date, ca. 1945-1947. Original print 8" x 10" wide. Photographer not indicated.
Original image from the papers of Fred M. DeSapio. Front has numeral '9' in black ink on print at bottom left corner. Reverse has pencil notation "Top Left" [indicating position either in multiple matte for framing - suggested by tape marks on reverse, but no matte burn is evident - or in some un-named publication]. Also on reverse, modern holographic ink identifications by Dr. Gerard DeSapio: L to R | Sgt Domonick (sic) Policastro | ______ | ______ | Mayor Bernard McFeely | Fred DeSapio | _____ | James Chirechella | Charles DeFazio Esq.
While undated, since McFeely is present and identified as Mayor, this photo may be from 1947 or earlier. McFeely left office in 1947.
The view is looking southwest. In the background at the right is the headhouse for Pier 1. The building at the left is side of the Main Post Office and second building from the left is the Steneck building, 95 River St.
