Description
Photograph of a man and woman working the lines of their sailboat on the ocean, ca.1930. A woman leans back to the left of the vessel, tugging on a line to keep the mast up. Beside her, a man in dark-colored sleeveless garb leans forward toward the mast, pulling on another line. The mast tilts toward the right and is full in the wind. The water below appears to be relatively choppy. In the background, the shore is lined with a boardwalk of sorts, behind which sit a line of houses. A large two-story unit is predominant in the background, surrounded by palm trees. Utility poles line the land behind the houses.
