28395. (mounted photo) Capt. Thomas J. Maddock and the Crew of the U. S. Merrimack River Life-Saving Station, Plum Island, Massachusetts c.1900. Superb clear, close image we believe to be of Capt. Thomas J. Maddock with two of his crew, posing with their wives on the boa tramp of the Bibb #2 Type station located at the north end of Plum Island in Newburyport. The keeper’s wife is seated beside him, beautifully dressed. The gentleman on the right with his wife may be the District Superintendent, we are not certain. The surfmen too are posing with their wives nearby. This was probably taken on a Sunday after church, as the men are dressed in their finest clothes, the surfmen with white bow ties included. The image measures 6” x 8” and is on original 10” x 12” gray mat. Mat has one corner chipped, bumping to others. Image is clear and crisp, just a few small marks, about as nice as they come. (drawer 4)(VG+). $325.
