Canoe Tug-of-War, Field Day, 1906

Negative no.A366. August 18, 1906. Image depicts the bath house and residential buildings viewed from the opposite shore of Hopedale Pond. In the background, in front of the bath house, men in two canoes are pulling on each end of a rope, attempting to gain control in a tug-of-war. Several groups of people are watching from rowboats and canoes nearby. Note the boat in the left background, which seems to consist entirely of women. Spectators can also be seen in front of the bath house and on the shore on either side of the bath house. See also Negative 367 and Negative 369, in this box, for nearly identical shots. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 3, Folder 2, Item 366 for print of this negative.
