Additional Description: Fisherman Ludwig Larsen pulls a salmon gillnet into a 26-foot sailing gillnet boat, being handled by the boat-puller, his stepson Edward Erickson. They are fishing off Desdemona Sands (near the center of today's Astoria-Megier Bndge) in 1894. The name “Kinney” and the number “49” show that the boat is owned by the Kinney Cannery – a common arrangement during Astoria’s salmon–canning days.
