From Tom:

1501, the “gas-electric” from the Dan Patch line, somewhere around its intended natural habitat at the harbor; on the building wall behind it one can barely make out the word “STEAMSHIP”. The end of the building is a bit ornate and hopefully someone might recognize it.

  1. Looks like building might read “PIER-A” if that makes any sense?
