From the description of the photo: The bunker boat Pocahontas ashore on Plum Island. The Pocahontas was probably in the employee of Smith Meal at Promised Land. This photograph was part of a collection of images documenting the bunker fishing or menhaden industry's ties between Promised Land in East Hampton and Greenport.
