These images were taken on a bunker boat, possibly the Shinnecock. In his oral history, Bruce Collins told interviewer Tony Prohaska that he piloted the steamer Shinnecock out of Amagansett for Jack Edwards from 1954 until 1960. That date is used to estimate the date for these images. This is part of a collection of images that show different pieces of equipment on the boat. This image shows the wheel house (where the wheel is visible) and the Captain's and Pilot's Quarters, where the map and desk are visible.
