Description
Photograph of commercial tuna fishing, ca.1920. A large fish seems to fly to the left to the right of center. Three men seem to be pulling at the fish with three poles attached to one hook. The three men lean back against the walls of the boat while water covers their knees. The men appear to stand in water at the outer edge of the boat. An additional three men stand behind them with fishing poles in hand. To the right, the water rages while the boat on the left is loaded with catch.
