Comfort R.I.
---
The handwritten caption says "Comfort R.I." (see the corresponding slide mount photo), but Google Maps shows no such place. But the pic doesn't seem to correspond to any dock locations in Provincetown shown in Google Maps.

Perhaps they meant "Compton R.I", where a couple of boat photos were taken in 1960. But the handwritten "Comfort" isn't close to "Compton".

The two fishing boats, "Linda & Warren" and "Sea Fox", are mentioned as being repaired at a Provincetown boat yard in the 1940s or 1950s:

There's a pic of the Linda & Warren.

Steve says: In 1959, The Sea Fox homeport was New Bedford and Linda & Warren was homeported in Plymouth.
