Description	View of the Mystic River looking east toward Mystic Iron Works, Pistol Point. A two-masted schooner is tied up under the hoisting shears.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Handwritten on back "Pawcatuck River" [sic], "Mystic River ca 1870". Mystic Iron Works, 1862-1873, was headed by Joseph O. Cottrell and David D. Mallory. The company 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. Business fell dramatically after the war. The building also housed the looms of the Oceanic Woolen Mill from the late 1860's to the early 1870's; it burned in 1873. The hoisting shears were used to load boilers and engines onto vessels. Taken by Everett A. Scholfield, a professional photographer who worked primarily in Mystic and New London from 1865-1913. Albumen prints with rounded tops mounted on pink card, round corners, verso light orange.
