#775: C. L. Perkins boat at a landing.
From Bruce Cameron July 2005, this seems to be the Williams landing in Salt Marsh Cove. Added August 2005: see below, Bob Brown, we looked at this together and I have to agree, Poole's Landing. But see also photo #778
From Joanna Cameron July 2005, probably agree.
From Bob Brown August 2005: No, it is Poole's Landing. The small island offshore is correct, and the building at the back of the photo on the shore is the fishhouse, still there. And the boat coming in is the steamer 'Newcastle', which made regular runs to Poole's Landing.
From Kirsten Forwood August 2005: Summer resident at Poole's Landing, recognized the island, and it is in fact that site.

From Bruce Cameron July 2005: Note the dock, running from the left of the main dock as one looks out, and compare with photo #775, where the part off the main dock runs to the right. But it may be that the dock is a 'T'.
From Bob Brown August 2005: The steamer docking is the 'Newcastle'.

#819: Richards house, East Edgecomb.
From Dawn Moriarty February 2007: This house was always referred to as the Summer House down at the shore when I was growing up. The house belonged to my Great- Grandmother, Lottie (Carlotta Sylvia) Richards. I remember that it took almost 30 minutes to walk down the road from my grandparents' house on River Road to get to the Summer House. Mamie (Lottie Richards) would spend the summer down there. I didn't realize until I was much older and after the house had been sold, that the house was where my grandfather and his sister grew up in (Atwood Samuel Richards and "Jane" McKowen). My Great-grandfather, Frank Richards, died on Feb. 23, 1942, 12 years before I was born. I was in high school before Mamie would finally allow a modern bathroom with running water be added to the house.

#862: Kathering [sp? Katherine] Owen, on Davis Island, with a male companion.
From Bruce Cameron July 2005: This image was far out of focus especially in the central
portion where Katherine is --- note that there are three people, probably two female and
one male. Note also that there seems to be a road at the top right of this clip [the Eddy
road?], with workmen at the lower left working on said road.

From Bruce Cameron July 2005: I can pretty much recognize the south end of Davis Island in these pictures, and this one shows that island in the back. It seems to be the intersection of Eddy Road and Mason Road, just west of Rte. 27.
From Joanna Cameron July 2005: I agree that te background seems to be Davis Island, south end - but I expect to see Fort Edgecomb, at that end of the island, and I do not see it.
From Bruce Cameron July 2005: Further examination, including driving the Eddy Road. One can see that this road turns sharp rignt just down the hill, and the road, going to the right beside the water, is visible. This is much further along than the Mason Road intersection, and the roadway coming in at the right must be a driveway.

From van Reid January 2006: This picture of the young woman on skis; I think she probably is carrying a ski pole - the sort one can shift form side to side, like the pole of a tight rope walker or a double ended paddle. It's the way ski poles were used back in Norway years ago and I have heard of people using poles like this around here.
