Preparing to Sail . A boats off the Northeast Harbor Fleet Dock
There are two A boats moored with crews on board. Each has a rowboat tied to them and the crews are working with the sails. The Northeast Harbor Fleet dock and clubhouse are visible in the background. Ralph Stanley said the boat in the background is grounded out. Ralph thinks that is the "Nevis" and his father is on board. He thinks there is a close.up of the photograph. Maine Maritime Museum at Bath has a copy of that picture and Ralph has a copy hanging on the wall at his home.
