Description
A black and white photograph that is part of a collection of pictures and postcards taken in the 1920s and 30s at Camp Roosevelt, a Boy Scout camp located outside Eddington, Maine. This picture portrays five teenage boys in swim trunks on or beside a wooden dock, presumably at Little Fitts Pond, the lake by which Camp Roosevelt is built. One boy is seated in a canoe tied to the dock, one standing at the dock edge, and two are crouched over the fifth boy, who is lying face-down on the dock. The lake's waters and surrounding forest are visible in the background.
