Loading Fish Meal onto the William Keene
Paul Stubing indicated that this is a photograph of the "William Keene" taken around 1938.1940. He said it shows loading fish meal probably for the Belfast chicken farms. The caption on the back of the photograph reads, "Loading Fish Meal at Southwest Harbor, Maine. 1938.1940 . William Keene". There are two men loading. On the left side of the picture are two bags waiting to be loaded (on the makeshift bridge).
