Description
Photograph of sailboats on the ocean, showing two women in the extreme foreground, ca.1930. At center, four darkly-colored sailboats move through the water. Each sailboat has two riders, except for the boat on the far left that has three. Two men riding the boats on the left lie flat across the boats, while the remaining riders sit. Each boat has a lightly-colored triangular sail with a dark number at its peak. In the extreme background, a large building surrounded by palm trees and industrial sites can be seen. In the extreme foreground, to women sit on a bench and cheer. Additional spectators are seen to the right.
