Description: This ferryboat is a long wooden boat with an upward curving stern and large rudder at the back. The boat is just off the rocky shoreline and full of people and baggage. The Min River is smooth and wide. The opposite shore can be seen in the background, with mountaintops off in the far distance. See all items with this value
Commentary: Katharine Willmott compiled at least two photo albums with blue brocade covers with similar images and captions. These ended up with Don and Dick, though we believe K made them for her mother and others "back home" sometime in the 1930s. See all items with this value
