EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of the unveiling ceremony for the commemorative tablet at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, Massachusetts, marking the site of the first settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1623. The tablet, known as Tablet Rock, is seen prominently in the foreground, surrounded by a crowd of people. The event took place in the early 20th century, likely around 1907, as indicated by the date on the photograph. The scene exudes a sense of historical significance, with the fortifications of Stage Fort in the background serving as a reminder of the colonial past. The ceremony appears to be a formal one, with dignitaries and community members gathered to pay tribute to the area's rich heritage. The dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image, taken by an unknown photographer, is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, providing a valuable record of this important moment in American history.
