Description	Aerial view of an old boatyard on the west (Groton) bank of the Mystic River south of downtown Mystic. A number of dilapidated docks and structures can be seen. Two automobiles are parked near a building in the left foreground. Other buildings, including the what appear to be the Mystic Art Association and the old Groton & Stonington Street Railway powerhouse, are visible along the riverfront in the background.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Marked "1939" on back of print. Identified as the old Post boatyard (F.G. Post yard located in the Fort Rachel area 1914-1923). Actual location depicted appears to be farther north, just south of downtown Mystic. Franklin G. Post was a boatbuilder who had shops at two locations in Mystic. From 1914-1923 his business was located in Fort Rachel, south of the site of the old D.O. Richmond yard on the Groton side of the river. From 1923-1959 the shop occupied the site of the former Pendleton Brothers yard at Pistol Point on the Stonington side. When his son Ernest joined the business it became Franklin Post & Son.
