Photograph, construction equipment with woman and two children in a rowboat on Lemon Bay, c.1932-1933: Bass personal papers

Abstract

This item is part of a series of photographs donated by the Bass family. The photographs include images from 1931 through 1933 as the Bass property was being developed. These images provide a valuable look at the Bass property as the buildings and structures went up that would become the Bass Biological Laboratory. Also included in these photographs are rare images of local workers, friends of the Bass family, and visitors to the area. This image features one women, likely either Else Bass or her mother Ellen Jensen, in a rowboat called the Johnny B. with two children, one identified as Bille and the older as John Bass III (Johnny). This image also features construction equipment on Lemon Bay.
