Description
Photograph of a view of Avalon Bay looking from the south, showing a Ferndale steamboat and the Metropole Hotel, ca.1888. A man is pictured in the foreground on a patch of grass, standing with his coat draped over his shoulder and his back to the camera. He looks down the beach, where the Metropole Hotel is pictured at left, in front of a mountain ridge. In the center distance, the steamer is departing from the wharf that extends from the beach, the schooner leading it to the right.
