Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard frame (off white with red rear text "Color Transparency" and front logo for Perfect Photo, Inc.). The frame is labeled "Wickersham 6—28—68" in handwriting. The image shows a semi—aerial view of a coastal area with an unknown body of water occupying the middling area of the image. In the foreground, there is a near shore with three structures, seemingly private residences, visible. What looks to be a window frame is in the foreground at right, suggesting the image was captured from inside. On the water, a sizeable white vessel is traveling toward the left, with a smaller vessel traveling behind it. The larger is probably the MV Wickersham. Beyond the water, there is a far shore with green slopes, their tops obscured by cloud cover. The number "6" is printed in ink on the frame at the lower right, and the text "JUL 68" is etched on the lower edge, possibly signifying the date of development.
