Antique Photo November 17 1924 Dorothy Alexander Ship Docked San Francisco CA
Photo taken by Dorothy Daggett Ecton. She wrote on the back. This picture I snapped just before noon of Monday November 17, 1924. This boat is named after one of the HC Alexander’s daughters and is the oldest and smallest of the Alexander coast line boats. It was ordered in for repairs after this trip. All these photos were from a scrapbook of the same family found in Denver, Colorado in the summer of 2023. The photos seem to be from the 1920’s era. The album features a family that took photos from the San Diego, California region. A lot of them have Dorothy’s writing on the back but a few do not so it is the context that helped me with identifying some individuals and details of the photos. The photos seemed to have once belonged to a woman named Dorothy as she sometimes writes on the back “me” where she appears. She is also called Dot on the back of the photos. Her name was Dorothy Daggett Ecton and she was born in Iowa in 1905. She married George Eugene Ecton (Buck) but died young on August 15, 1938 around the age of 33. She is buried at Greenwood Memorial Park in San Diego, California. The photos have some of the black scrap book paper still on them as well as marks from the original tape backing. The photos are black and white and usually developed at a place called Bunnell Photos in San Diego. They are yellowed in areas from age. Some corners show damage and there may be small holes or creases. Please see photos for details.
