![]() ![]() The children display a variety of hats, including what looks like a naval hat on the smallest boy (marked with a steering wheel at the front). (As another side note, the 1907 photo of the Tlingit women apparently found its way onto a commemorative porcelain plate made in Germany in 1910, which is now at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum).Īnother notable feature of these 1920s photos is the popularity of hats or headgear. One explanation is that smiling for a picture was considered disrespectful by elders. This phenomenon is noted in “ The Tlingit Encounter with Photography” where author Sharon Gmelch points out that Tlingit women photographed at Funter Bay tended to look away from the camera unsmiling. The younger people are all looking at the camera and many are smiling, while the older woman stares away with a stern expression. ![]() The man on the right is making some sort of gesture or counting 3. There is a lot going on in the above photo. In a previous post I linked to a report indicating native children as young as 8 sometimes worked 9-hour days for 10 cents an hour. The photo seems to be printed in the correct orientation based on the product held by the small boy, reading “Sw… Pr…” (perhaps candy?). The next photo is labeled (in reverse) “Native Cannery Hands”. I suspect this fellow was one of the Tlingit Natives who worked at the cannery during the summers. Also visible in the background is a wooden frame for clotheslines with hanging laundry, and some fencing or netting, similar to the garden fencing and clotheslines seen before. The firewood behind the seated man looks very similar to the wood stacked next to the boardwalk seen in a previous post. The next two photos are not labeled as Funter Bay, but were found alongside Funter Bay photos in the same collection. In the background are Tlingit native houses and a scow or barge. An example of assembled cases can be seen here. These would be assembled, filled with cans, and then shipped out again. The items are likely knocked-down cases for canned salmon. Here we see a group of men unloading items from the hold of a ship. It is not clear if these are commercial mass-produced postcards or personal images printed on postcard stock. Other postcards from the same set show some of the workers and people associated with the cannery in the same time period. In accordance with BGP values, we only encourage responsible gambling.My last post displayed some 1920s-era postcards ( RPPCs) from Funter Bay, showing buildings and boats of the Thlinket Packing Company’s salmon cannery. – Group 1 members still jump hurdles for maiden members – Nobody shall withhold quality oil and then brag about their spoil – Doing it in person feels better than doing it behind a keyboard – Members treat each other the way they would like their Mum to be treated – A failed tip is not a call for the snip – The DM is for dating and mating, not abusing when losing – On course? BGP members punt on course, of course It has tens of thousands of downloads and all of our latest updates are in there including form, tips, events, a community section and a media section.īoys Get Paid gives the punter somewhere to hang out with like minded people as well as access to all of the latest oil and some inside help before putting that money down. In late 2020, with the help of our Supporters Members, we launched an App which anyone can download. In 2020 we did it all again with 450 people and $250,000. We turned back up in 2019 with 300 people in attendance and $177,800, setting a new record for NZ’s largest ever punters club. We turned heads in 2018 at the Karaka Million where we ran a punters club turning $58,000 into $136,000. Today it’s a community of 18,500 (and growing) avid racing and sports fans who don’t mind a beer and a bet. Every member must have a common connection to get in to BGP to ensure we have like minded people and who ever adds them can explain to them this isn’t a place of hero’s, sh*t comments and boasting. So we turned it off and now every single post is approved or disapproved. It turned in to 20, 100, 500, 2,000 people and got a bit out of control to be honest, there were people posting pictures of multi’s, basketball BIG bets, sh*t chat, alsorts. We’d tip a horse weekly and hold bragging rights if our horse saluted. Boys Get Paid was started in 2011 by the man, the myth, the legend Duan White(in his finest below) as a group of lads who loved to back a winner. ![]()
