Worlds Record, 4 hours Catch, July 30th 1904, Santa Catalina Island, California
This card from the early divided-back era (after March 1907) cannot have been dated the same as the "worlds record" catch, because postal regulations would have prohibited any writing but the address on the back of the card. This card has space only for a return address, and on the front what was once white space was for writing a message. Each fish has a weight and the time taken to land it. Behind the men and their fish is the office of the "Meteor Boat Co." The publisher's number is 4533.
