Name/Title
G.P. Heath launchEntry/Object ID
2021.88.48Description
More than 40 people are standing or sitting on lumber in the foreground of a ship yard. In the background a ship, likely the steamer G.P. Heath, may be preparing to launch or has just launched. Two tugs are close to the bow of the ship. A flag is flying yet appears most of the people are waiting rather than working.
These images are modern prints of a historic but damaged original or negative. The second image is a close-up detail of the working tugs.Photograph Details
