Three men in a small boat appear to be pulling away from shore, and the lighthouse on this board gives the scene its purpose. For much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, small boats like this one were the lifeline between a light station and the mainland. Keepers and their crews rowed out with supplies, mail, and relief crews, and they were often the only people who came and went from a remote tower for weeks at a time. Look at the water and the boat's low profile to get a sense of the working conditions these trips involved.
