Description	View of buildings and vessels on the Mystic River. Typed caption glued to bottom reads: "Sheer legs on old Mallory Wharf between highway bridge and railroad bridge on Mystic River"
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Same image is identified elsewhere and in secondary sources as a mid-1866 photograph by E.A. Scholfield of vessels in the Mystic Iron Works area. In the center, a tug is pulling a schooner yacht downriver, with a large steamer faintly visible beyond the railroad bridge. To the right is a sidewheel steamer, probably Ulysses. View is looking downriver toward the railroad bridge, with the main Mystic Iron Works building and Pine Hill visible to the left and the Randall wharf and building to the right. Mystic Iron Works, 1862-1873, was founded by Joseph O. Cottrell and David D. Mallory. It manufactured and fitted engines and boilers for vessels. Its boom period was during and immediately after the Civil War when it fitted and refitted a number of vessels. The company also built one vessel, the iron-hulled screw towboat Montaines. A fire destroyed all the buildings in 1875. J.&W.P. Randall was a Mystic whaling firm earlier in the nineteenth century. Everett A. Scholfield was a professional photographer who worked primarily in Mystic and New London from 1865-1913.
