In this circa 1910 photograph, children pose near the American Can Company plant built in Lubec village after its North Lubec factory burned. The first mechanized &quottin&quot can manufacturer in Lubec, it soon erected a much larger building, and those shown here became warehouses. In a few decades the company was turning out 350 million cans a year. Lubec and Eastport canneries employed many children, attracting the attention of well-known documentary photographer and social reformer Lewis Hine. In August 1911 he photographed young workers, many under the age of 12, cutting and packing fish in local canneries.
