Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of 2 fishermen carrying a porpoise up the beach and towards the wharf in Newport Beach. They stand at center with their backs to camera. The dolphin lies on a pallet that is carried by the two men. The wharf is to their right and stretches on an angle from right down towards the left. The supporting structure of the wharf is visible beneath the wharf. Pulley systems stand on top of the wharf at left. The shadows of two people stretch across the sand and enter the photograph from the bottom edge at left. Text from negative sleeve: 599. Newport Beach, Calif. 1899. Southern Pacific Investigation trip. We pulled into Newport Beach in the late afternoon. I took a photo of the sunset on the ocean, looking toward land, from the pier. Fishermen had brought in a large porpoise and carried it up under the wharf where they hung it up. 2 negatives. 3 negatives
