Description
Photograph of men holding fishing gear pose next to their catch, ca.1930. To the right of the center, men are grouped together and posing while holding fishing rods. To their left, a row of fish are hanging from ropes tied around wooden poles, which seem to be part of the base of a construction. On the far left, a small sign is partially visible on one of the poles which reads: "Where All The Sportsmen Fish", "Palatial Fishing Schooner", "[?]ILLINGS", "[?] $1.00", "All Day Live Bait Boat", and the rest is illegible. A large one-floor building is observable behind the men with people talking over a counter and a conspicuous sign on its roof that says "BOAT LANDING". Additional men are viewable in the far background.
