Description
Portland Civil Engineer William S. Edwards included this photograph in a photo album he compiled in 1887. Beneath the image, Edwards wrote, "Breakers. Cape Elizabeth Shore. Sept 2, 1887." Amongst the seascapes that the civil engineer Edwards selected for inclusion, which often featured boats or architectural feats, this photograph is unique in its subject: the willful ferocity of the untamed Maine ocean itself.
