This is a ship that was forced onto the old Steamship Dock area now the State Pier. Behind it's stern would be Merrill's Wharf.
The tidal surge in the harbor was about 12ft.
In the enlargement, you can see the sign for C.F Beckman's on Commercial Street, a local supplier of gear and electronics etc for fishing and other industry.
See map below: Urban renewal has changed a lot of the area, but Commercial Street with C.F Beckman's building is still there though, at this time, (2011) the business has closed.
On the map, you can see where the ship is positioned in the photo. |
