Description

Bruce Collins and others from East Hampton Town went fishing and hunting with the Crockett brothers near Tangier Island, Virginia. Bruce Collins took multiple photographs of a cpatured Red Head Duck of Robert Crockett's in a pen, presumably on or near Tangier Island, based on the other images in the set. This appears to be the same duck in the same pen. Elsewhere in these photos, Bruce Collins explained that the bunker boats from Promised Land fish factory often went south for the winter for repairs near Tangier Island and Reedville, Virginia, or down to North Carolina and Florida to pursue other kinds of fish. 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.
