Description

This postcard features a black and white image of boats in a harbor. The two boats in the forefront have their sails pulled up and are docked very close to each other. Five other boats are anchored in the background. The title of the card is printed along the bottom left of the card and an inscription is written beside and below it. A postmark for Birmingham, Alabama, May 3, 1908 is stamped upside down in the lower right of the image. The back of the card is addressed to Mr. Mack Robinson in Birmingham, Alabama. The card is postmarked Gulfport, Mississippi, May 30, 1908 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner.
