At center, inventor Leon F. Douglass poses with his submarine camera while aboard the Santa Rosa. He sits side-saddle on a bench. The base of the camera rests in front of him on the bench. A long tube extends vertically from the camera and out-of-frame. Leon F. Douglass holds onto the apparatus with both hands as he looks to camera. A deck of the Santa Rosa stretches across the background.
