Description
Photograph of Santa Catalina, showing a young boy touching a giant marlin, [s.d.]. The small boy wears swimming trunks and lightly-colored shoes as he holds the giant marlin by its long, sword-like nose. The marlin is strung up by its tail over the dock. A platform just behind it leads down to the water where several men stand and many ships can be seen floating in the background. Santa Catalina is famed the world over for its great fishing for giant marlin and tuna.
