- Description:
- Tourists on St. Simons Island gather outside one of the island's many shops. The island suffered an economic depression at the end of the cotton era in the 1830s, but its fortunes reversed with the arrival of the timber industry in the 1870s. Today St. Simons enjoys a strong tourist industry.
This photograph shows tourists on St. Simons Island, Georgia walking by the island's many shops. The white wood frame shops, which stand close to one another in a row, have raised foundations. Stairs lead to the small porches of each of the shops. - Metadata URL:
