Crewman on stmr. WINTER HARBOR
Image of Augustus 'Gussie' Hodgkins, mate on the steamboat WINTER HARBOR, moored at Popham, Maine. Visible in image: Augustus Hodgkins stands in front of the steamboat's pilothouse for a portrait. The season is winter; the pilothouse's windows are raised, the ship's boat is covered with canvas, the companionway to the upper deck is closed off, and there is a canvas cover (pulled aside) at the entrance to the main cabin. The river is not frozen, but snow has been cleared off the wharf to which WINTER HARBOR is moored. The coast in the background is Georgetown.
