This was a typical scene of the arrival of the mailboat with the Mount Washington in the background. In those days, some people from other islands had their mail sent to 3 mile because it was easier to pick it up than to 'meet' the mailboat at its designated stop on Pine Island. Note the beautiful mahogany boat, driven by Dr. Henry Crane, a Bishop in the Detroit area for the Methodist Church, who has come for his mail. (photo by Ted Barker)
