Description:
"A typical Maine fishing crew. The men of the schooner "Emma" of Swan's Island gathered near the mainmast for a group portrait at Bernard Harbor in the town of Tremont, following a trip to the offshore grounds, c. 1900. Judging from the tubs of trawl along the port rail (center-right), they have been ground fishing. The "Emma" was an 81-ton (n.m.) vessel built at Bath in 1883. Note the crew's leather boots, standard fishing apparel throughout the nineteenth century." - "The Maine Sea Fisheries: The Rise and Fall of a Native Industry, 1830-1890" by Wayne M. O’Leary, 1996
