Ma Ketchum with fishing net, in skiff, Mystic River

Title supplied by cataloger. The area along the Mystic River on the Stonington side north of downtown Mystic was known as Greenmanville. Brothers George, Clark and Thomas Greenman lived and had their shipyard and mill in this area in the nineteenth century. Greenmanville Manufacturing Company (later the Mystic Manufacturing Company), was established in 1849 by George Greenman & Company, noted Mystic shipbuilders. The company was owned in whole or part by the Greenman brothers, George, Clark and Thomas. The firm produced woolen and other textiles. Probably photographed by Everett A. Scholfield, a professional photographer who worked primarily in Mystic and New London from 1865-1913.
