Adams and Heath Boat Livery
Photograph
High-angle sepia photograph of three men standing by the river's edge where at least 24 rowboats are docked. In addition to shanties and boardwalks near the water, houses and a fenced yard are visible in the background.
On the top of the print is written “Adams and Heath Boat Livery.” The names of individual men are also written on the print.
On the reverse side is the text "On Water St. just south of the ferry. Originally Simonson / Roblier? Sold to Adams and Heath before the turn of the century. Sold to Leonard Brittain in 1924. About 1907-8 as Ted Heath was born in 1900."
