Black and white photograph 2 3/4in x 2 3/4in. Reverse inscription: “239”; “X mas presents on Yankee”; “R A Dillon” stamp in blue ink. Four people (including Electa Johnson) stand in Yankee’s galley watching one of the Johnson boys open presents. The table in the foreground is covered in wrapped presents. The inventory number (239) suggests this photograph was taken somewhere in the Galapagos Islands, 25 December 1939.
