Jesiek Boat on Assembly Rig
1909
A boat named 'Arrow' in the Jesiek yard, sits atop a movable rig. A long arrow pointing to the name runs the length of the boat. In the background you can see two huge storage tanks belonging to the gas works at Market and Wealthy Sts. Poles supporting multiple telephone or electric lines are also visible. A sign on the two-story, wooden building appears to read "Blanchard Horse Shoeing."
