Description	Shipwrights pose at a shipyard identified as the Palmer yard. The group of approximately sixty men and boys, some as young as ten, are all in workclothes except for one man wearing a jacket, vest and hat, at the center of the third row. At left is a wooden vessel on the building ways, frames in place. A wood building is visible behind the group.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. The Palmer family's shipbuilding and repair facility, in operation from the mid-19th century until 1914, was one of the most prominent on the east coast. It was incorporated under several names and experienced substantial growth in the second half of the 19th century, specializing in the production of utilitarian barges and floats. The yard employed 400 men on average in the first decade of the 20th century. In the World War I time period, Groton Iron Works operated on this site in addition to having its main yard on the Thames River in Groton. The company built a number of iron and wood-hulled vessels during and after World War I. The Noank yard ceased production in 1919. The Groton yard continued until 1928. On reverse top is written in pencil: "Palmer Yard, Noank, WWI". Mounted on heavy cardboard.
