The image is a black and white photograph of a large group of people gathered on a beach. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century, as there are no other buildings or structures visible in the background. The people are dressed in formal attire and are gathered in a large number, with some standing and some sitting on the ground. In the center of the photograph, there is a large tent-like structure, possibly a tent or a tent house, with a tall chimney on top. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
