"This is a photo my father sent back to his wife and children back in Portugal shortly after arriving in the U.S. He is aboard the Connie F, a wooden boat owned by his brother Joseph, accompanied by the husband of his youngest sister, Gloria. The owner of the boat sponsored all but one of his siblings into the country and all men worked on the Connie F for different periods of time even when none of them had been fishermen in Portugal. Location: Pier 3."
