The Virginia

George Finstad and the Virginia, 1928. Original description: “The water was so low this spring we had a hard time getting some of the boats in. This is Major Roberts' cruiser, the Virginia. The steam alligator is pulling one way and the hoist engine is trying to get the cradle from underneath it away.
