Description
Photograph of commercial tuna fishermen pulling in a catch, ca.1920. To the left of center, three men lean back while they pull on fishing poles attached to one fish in the center. The tuna is suspened in the air with its underside facing up while it seems to move towards the boat. The men appear to be drenched in water while the heads of three more men can be seen I the right foreground. The outer walls of the boat are visible behind the men on the left while a portion of the grated platform can be seen on the outeredge of the boat.
