Schooners at breakwater
Image of two schooners off a breakwater, possibly in Maine. Visible in image: Two 2-masted schooners, one with all sails furled and one with a mainsail set, lie off a breakwater with what appears to be a lighthouse at the end. The breakwater looks to be long and straight, with a light tower and keeper's house angled off the end. Beyond the breakwater light, in the channel, stands a spark plug-style lighthouse. An island with one large building lies beyond the spark plug light, while the land at right (possibly the mainland) appears to be built up mostly with houses near the water's edge. One sizable structure is built onto a pier at the base of the breakwater. The view seems to have been taken from above a freight or ferry terminal. The large building at lower left is matched to a stone or concrete jetty with a metal gantry structure, visible on the glass plate but not included in this scan. The location shown in this photograph is not presently known.
