HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #19

Panama hats and handlebar mustaches ruled on Chauncey’s Creek in 1890/ The Mascotte Boat Club was part of the Portsmouth Athletic Club. The last figure in the ten-oar boat holds the group’s sign. This large boat was likely converted from the "captain’s gig" off a defunct naval vessel.
