Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (brown with red trim). The frame is labeled "Ketchikan 5—23—53" in handwriting. The image shows a body of water in the foreground, extending to a far shore at right, with steeply sloping green mountains. Miniscule buildings are clustered on the shoreline. To the left in the foreground, there is a red flag on a pole, suggesting the image was taken from the stern of a vessel, and there is black smoke in the air, possibly from the vessel's engines. The number "10" is printed in ink on the frame at the upper left.
