Description	Franklin G. Post and boat yard "gang" at the Post yard in Mystic, circa 1919. Franklin G. Post is at the left and his son Ernest is third from the left in the group that includes eleven employees. Ernest Post is wearing a jacket; all the other men are in shirtsleeves. Two men wear overalls and one a cap. The man sitting on the right is identified as Bill Lamb, described in a handwritten note on the back: "First man hired by F. G. P. He spent rest of his life at yard". A building, probably on the Stonington side of the river, is visible in the background.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. 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. "Bill Lamb" is possibly the "William S. Lamb" depicted in a related photograph.
