This is two photos tied together by a red ribbon. One photo is of a dredge on the Columbia River and the other is of fishing boats at the dock. On the back of the photos is this description:
"Dinner Time"
The Greek fishermen were busy all night catching Columbia River salmon. In the morning they haul in their nets and moor to some sheltered spot on shore, eat their dinner and sleep all day or until 4 o'clock P.M. when again set sail.

"The Columbia River Dredge"
"Wm. Dodd", This boat is used to deepen the channels in the Columbia River so that the largest of ocean steamers mat pass at low tide.
