Scow and Swimmers Having Fun on Apple Island

Collection: Apple IslandSubjects: photographic, print
A photo of 17 people and a dog standing on a scow or large, flat-bottomed boat, having fun swimming in Orchard Lake by Apple Island.
From Dr. Campbell Harvey’s (grandson of Colin and Caroline Campbell) manuscript, Auld Lang Syne: Memories of Orchard Island before 1907:
“Once in awhile on a Sunday afternoon, Uncle Forrest anchored the scow in deep water so that we could go swimming off it. Besides the buoyancy swimming in deep water gives, there was diving off the railing. The girls’ bathing garments were marvelous. It took a good swimmer to swim in one. The undergarment was one-piece, large bloomer bottom and a cape affair with many ruffles and frills. There was a full skirt, and sometimes a small lace cap.”
