Dragger MARY ANNE frames and ceiling

Frames and ceiling of dragger MARY ANNE being built at Morse's. Dragger MARY ANNE in frame, October, 1938 Elmer Montgomery Collection, Gift of Maynard Bray, LB2008.15.475 Living a short walk from Rockland's Snow Shipyard, where his father and older brother worked, Elmer knew the critical and most visually appealing moments in large shipbuilding. He also traveled to nearby yards. Here he captures the classic scene of a vessel's finished frame, at the Wilbur Morse Yard in Thomaston. Working and going to school, Elmer's photographs were taken Sundays when work had been cleaned up at the week's end and workers had a day off.
