Description
Photograph of six people sitting at the shore watching sailboats on the sea, ca.1940. In the rightmost foreground, a man and woman in swim gear sit beneath a group of palm trees with their backs to the camera. Across them to the left, three men and a woman sit in the sand facing the water. Eight sailboats are seen close to the people, and several more are visible in the far distance. A sailboat to the right of the cluster bears the number 21 on its mast. In the leftmost corner of the distance, another shoreline is visible, strewn with trees and what appears to be a large beachfront structure. To the right, a docking area lines the distance. Palm trees frame the sandy foreground of the photo.
