The image is a black and white photograph of a large crowd of people gathered on a pier. The pier appears to be located on a beach, as there is a large body of water visible on the right side of the image. The crowd is made up of people of different ages, genders, and ethnicities, and they are all dressed in formal attire. Some of them are holding flags and banners, while others are walking along the pier. In the background, there are several buildings and a flagpole with a flag flying in the wind. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
