OBJ.N.2023.152.1
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, like OBJ.N.2023.148.1 and 150.1 features a crowd of boy scouts in swim trunks standing on a lake dock, presumable on Little Fitts Pond. Uniquely in this picture, a line of floats delineates a swimming area, where four boys are already in the water. Two more boys are in the water on the other side of the dock from the swimming area, by a canoe. Others appear to be stretching or getting ready to dive. There are approximately 20 boys visible in the picture, none of whom are identified.
