James and Signe Wightman in the 1920’s. The eventual owners of the Gulf View Inn, now the Mucky Duck.

This image features "Buzz" (F. Bowman) Price, his daughter, Dorothy Price (Dottie Wakefield) and Captain Stran after catching a huge tarpon in the early 1900's.  Price and his wife, Grace, established 'Tween Waters Inn in 1931.  Captain Stran was a resident fishing guide on the island. His wife, Clara Stran, owned a gift shop on Captiva.

The Singletons were owners/operators of the mailboat Santiva from 1936-1952.  The captain was fined 3-days pay if the boat was late. In all its years the “Santiva” missed just a handful of trips due to hurricanes.

This image is the main cottage at 'Tween Waters in the 1930s. Grace price and her husband F. Bowman Price built the first cottage at 'Tween Waters Inn in 1931. They came to the island with their infant daughter Dorothy because of Bowman's poor health.

The original building which eventually housed McCaul's gift shop was reportedly built by Reimund “Black Bart” Holzhey and then sold to islander Ina Watson. A postcard image of the gift shop from 1973 shows the exterior of the building at ground-level. The building was eventually elevated with its distinctive long ramp and became know as the Tree House Gift Shop. The building is still standing as of June 2020 and is located just west of the Captiva post office on the left side of the road leading to Alison Hagerup beach park.
