Description

Black and white photo of a structure at a marina used to move boats in and out of the water. The main object of interest in this image is a pier on wooden pilings that has a solid floor near the shore and an open area at the water end. On the pier is a metal framework made up of steel beams and mounted on wheels that run along the sides of the pier. On the framework is hoisting equipment for raising or lowering a boat onto a transport or into the water. In this image the boat has been lowered into the water. The back of the boat is visible. The boat's name can been seen but except that it begins with an "S" it is not readable.The boat's mast is lying flat on the top of the boat. Numerous persons are visible working on the boat or merely observing. All are wearing foul wether gear such as stocking caps or hoods. In the background is a hill covered with foliage and at the top are buildings. There are white borders on all sides with the side borders being larger. There is no information on the back. There is a repeated and very faint statement on the back that says "This paper manufactured by Kodak".
