Photograph shows a man and a woman, both holding a fish, standing in one of the row boats from the Cortes Lodge. Another man on shore is also holding a fish, while a man behind him (likely Jack Summers) pulls the boat in.

Photograph of Rev. Rollo Boas and his wife Kay scraping paint from the Columbia Coast Mission boat "Rendezvous" at the Whaletown wharf. Ken Slater's troller "Wahkana Bay" is in the background, two unindentified gas boats are tied to the floats. Of note: clearing for the Huck family home in background indicates the year the photo was taken. There are two captions on the back, in different handwriting (top is Gilean Douglas'.)
