Lewis Hine Gallery, Cannery Workers, Eastport, Maine

Here are many of the children (and a few adults) whose descendants I have contacted, or about whom I have found significant information. Click on each photo to see an enlarged photo and the full captions. The captions directly under each photo are my words. Below those, I have added Hine's own telling descriptions (in italics), as published by the Library of Congress or other sources. You will note examples of where my research has resulted in name corrections, or in the discovery of the names of persons only partially identified, or not indentified at all by Hine. In most cases, I have posted my full story (often including family photos) of the person or persons in the photo. For others, I am still gathering information for the story. These pages will be updated frequently.

Announcement: I will make a special presentation in Eastport, Maine regarding my research about the sardine cannery workers that were photographed there in 1911. The event will take place at the Peavey Memorial Library, in Eastport, on Monday, August 9, 2010, at 7:00. The event is free. For more information, call the library at 207-853-4021.

Watch Eastport's Last Sardine, an excellent short film about the sardine industry in Eastport. It includes many of the Lewis Hine photos. The film was produced by the Maine Public Broadcasting Network, and is about 12 minutes long. Click the link and scroll down the list of films until you find it.
