Description

This is a sepia tone small photograph of the James Adams Floating Theater with its tugboats Trouper and Elk at the stern. The view is from the stern along one side of the barge. There is an American flag flying on the Elk and flags on the top of the barge also. There are four windows on both floors of the barge and all the doors and windows on the tugs are open. The windows on the side of the barge are insufficiently visible to count. The wharf is just visible at the bow of the barge. ******************************************* Text on verso: "Original James Adams Floating Theatre (Show Boat) at Leonardtown wharf with tugs 'Elk' and 'Trouper' Summer - 1930 (First boat)" "Robert L.
