Description |
A group of people stand along the railing of what seems to be a cruise ship. However, this is a photo studio on the grounds of the park in Montreal. In later years the fake life ring was for sale on the Internet, as were a number of other pictures with the fake ship in the background. The park opened in 1906 and was very popular with Americans as well as Canadians. It closed in 1937. Herbert Kirstin is in the back row on the far right side. Others are not identified. The back of the card says it was "Made in Canada". |
