About this postcard

A row of wooden buildings stands on pilings over calm water. Behind them, a large white multi-story building and trees rise from the shore. A man stands on a wooden dock, and small boats are moored nearby. The view is tied to Boothbay Harbor, Maine, a fishing and shipbuilding port that was also becoming a summer resort in the early 20th century. The wharf buildings and the substantial white structure behind them show a harbor where working waterfront and seasonal trade shared the shore.
