The image is a black and white photograph of two men standing on a boat. The man on the left is wearing a striped shirt and trousers, and is holding a large piece of equipment in his hands. He is standing on the deck of the boat, which appears to be made of wood and metal. The other man is standing next to him, wearing a suit and tie. He has a serious expression on his face and is looking directly at the camera.

In the background, there is a hill and a body of water. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
