Glass lantern slide of three people on a canoe. "Canoeing B. B. Park" is written on an "Essex Camera Club, Newark, NJ" label on the slide. "B.B. Park" is Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ, a popular canoeing recreation spot during the early twentieth century. This photo was included in the book "The Cities on the Saco" (1985) by Jacques Downs (pg. 154), but the photo was actually taken in New Jersey, not Maine.
