We’re back on the water again this week but this time we have a larger boat and a larger body of water. Being that the photographer John B. Capewell lived in Westville, New Jersey, I think it’s safe to assume that he shot this 5″ x 7″ glass negative on the banks of the Delaware River.

When I was first examining the negative, I assumed that the background on the left featured some industrial structures or dock-work. On closer examination, it sort of looks like a bridge. I’m hoping that somebody with a better grasp of the region’s history will enlighten us all.

If you click on the pictures, you should get a slightly enlarged version. Have a look!

On the other side of the photo is the wider Delaware with some ships and what is probably Camden, NJ in the distance.

Here is the entire glass negative:

As with all of the photographs in the Capewell Collection, I placed the 5â€³ x 7â€³ glass negative on a lightbox and shot them with a digital camera locked down on a tripod. The â€œprocessingâ€ was done digitally on a Mac using Adobe Photoshop.
