* Lake Arthur, southwestern Louisiana 1909. I believe the photo misspelled the river should be "Mermentau", looks to be a very navigable inlet from the Gulf Of Mexico !

Richard, My Bateau was built along the Mermentau River in the 1930's. One day I'll have to go cruise the river, it supposed to be a nice area. Nice to see a picture of how they transported goods back in the day. |
