Description	View of the Wilcox Fertilizer Company, Noyes Neck, as seen from the opposite shore. At left is an unidentified three-masted schooner, probably loading "fish scrap" for fertilizer. At center is a vessel that resembles a catboat without a mast. At right is an oil storage tank.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. The Wilcox Fertilizer Company was a family business that processed menhaden (fish), producing oil and fertilizer. Founder Elias Wilcox and his sons were active in the menhaden fishery as well, with most of the sons serving as captains of menhaden sloops and later steamers. The Wilcox company had several steamers and sloops, some Mystic- or Noank-built. The menhaden industry was of great economic importance to the Mystic area economy, especially in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Wilcox Fertilizer company was very successful, and remained in business until 1935.
