Bay Point landing, Georgetown
Image of the Bay Point steamboat landing in Georgetown, Maine. Visible in image: Passengers wait with their baggage on the bay Point landing at watch as J. E. Perkins's steamboat approaches. The crowd contains men, women and children. The wearing of straw hats by some of the men indicates that the time of year is late spring if not summer. The wharf has a semaphore to signal steamboats. In the background are some of the cottages of Bay Point, with clothes drying on the line.
