"Two bunker boats, one steel, one wooden, with nets raised. The steel boat is finished pumping. The wooden boat is still pumping." Fishing nets were emptied by pumping them out with water, as explained in other images. In his History Project, Inc. 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.
