ARC.1745Scope and Content
This collection consists of 18 scans of aerial photographs documenting Montauk's Fishing Village on Fort Pond Bay during winters in the 1930s–1940s. The photographs, many of which are dated February 1943, show a frozen coastline and sea ice extending out into the bay. The aerials also show the Long Island Rail Road Station and the U.S. Navy's Torpedo Testing Range.

Original description lists items as "aerials of the Fort Pond Bay fishing Village after 1938 and before the Navy took it over in 1942." However, this does not match up with photograph metadata attributing the photographs to February 1943.
