Steamer ferry in calm waters with several people on top deck, forested hills in background
This is probably the Marguerite, a 65-foot schooner brought to Bellingham by Captain Hector Gawley who moved it to Lake Whatcom in 1906. After being injured in a machinery accident on board, he sold the ship to Captain Lee Pittman in 1907 who operated it until the 1920's. The Marguerite made three daily round trips between Silver Beach and Park on Lake Whatcom.
