Description
This view, taken from the Cutler Sand Beach, looks seaward toward Little River Island, on the left. The Little River Lighthouse is on the far side of the island. Note the Friendship sloops at anchor in the harbor, in addition to the figure rowing a dory near the middle of the frame.
The lighthouse and boathouse were built in 1847. The boathouse was replaced in 1881.
The ruins of the steamboat wharf are on the left. The Cutler Land Company built the wharf in the 1880s, but by 1910, the company was defunct. However, Elias Grimes, its owner, paid the company’s debts and got its properties.
