Description
Postcard of people standing by the Alviso Harbor watching boats. Several boats appear to be heading out of the harbor. In the background can be seen the marshes of Alviso. On the back of the postcard the sender of the postcard has written: "I have nothing much to do but monky [sic] with the type writer. The boats in the picture are ready to be towed out to see the launch races. That's all there is to do here is boating." The postcard is signed "Art" in pencil.
