This is before they put a dinghy on the roof instead of the life raft. Also before chairs were added to the roof. So, in those days, she mostly ran out from the Weirs, around Bear and Welch and back to the Weirs. So far, so good. But it looks like there are two deck hands ready to handle lines for docking, and she is not moving at any speed. But the deck hands are on the port side, and I can't recall anyplace she docked port to the dock. In fact, in those days she rarely docked anywhere except the Weirs, starboard to. In the early days, before the Mount got post war engines, she would have docked in Wolfeboro, but the presence of several larger boats in the scene makes me think it was way after that shuttle service. Was there a time when the Sophie went to Meredith? Just can't make sense out of deck hands on the port side.
