Day 28 Black History Month Write It! Series *Photo of the Day*


Portrait of Captain T. Shorey with wife Julia Ann and their daughters Zenobia and Victoria in Oakland, CA 1898. William T. Shorey was a skilled late 19th-century American whaling ship captain.



This opulent portrait only gives us a hint at the lifestyle the Shorey family led. The achievements of Captain Shorey and the prominent background of his wife Julia Ann Shelton would make for an awesome film or series.
