Description: Unknown man in spats on the left is possibly Ebed Wilder Neal (1879-1950) Dr. Neal's brother. Dr. George Arthur Neal with mustache is on the right.
The house on the right was the Osborne Milton & Wilford Howard Kittredge house - and the church on the horizon is the Tremont Congregational Church. The dam caused the marsh to flood, which encouraged salt hay to grow. The dam was opened at harvest time.

"A typical Maine fishing crew. The men of the schooner "Emma" of Swan's Island gathered near the mainmast for a group portrait at Bernard Harbor in the town of Tremont, following a trip to the offshore grounds, c. 1900. Judging from the tubs of trawl along the port rail (center-right), they have been ground fishing. The "Emma" was an 81-ton (n.m.) vessel built at Bath in 1883. Note the crew's leather boots, standard fishing apparel throughout the nineteenth century." - "The Maine Sea Fisheries: The Rise and Fall of a Native Industry, 1830-1890" by Wayne M. O’Leary, 1996

Note the board sidewalks on Main Street and the manure in the road. There are several pieces of Adirondack furniture on Dr. Neal's lawn. Two men and a horse and buggy are parked in front of the house. A black dog (labrador?) sits on the walk. Lace curtains and geraniums may be seen in the windows.
