The image is a black and white photograph of a large group of tents set up on a sandy beach. The tents are of different sizes and shapes, with some being large and others smaller. There are several people scattered throughout the tents, some standing and some sitting on the ground. In the background, there is a body of water with a boat visible in the distance. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century.
