Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Boats — 7—5—59" in handwriting. The image shows a body of water in the foreground, extending into the middling area. It is probably the Gastineau Channel. The far shore in the background is mountainous, and the peaks within the frame bear no snowcap. This far shore is probably the southern end of the eastern coast of Douglas Island. There are two boats in the foreground, their prows facing toward the camera as they travel toward the left of the image. Other small vessels are visible in the middling area and background of the image. The number "29" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper left. Also bears the printed numerals "00052544" on the right edge, possibly a serial or developer's number.
