The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men working on a boat. The boat appears to be a fishing vessel, as there are several masts and rigging visible in the background. The men are standing on the deck of the boat, and some are working on the rigging while others are standing in the water. They are all wearing hats and jackets, and appear to be engaged in some kind of activity. The sky is overcast and the water is calm, suggesting that the photo was taken on a cloudy day.
