Description
Photograph of motorboat racing, showing spectators on jetty in background, [s.d.]. In the background at center, a line of five motorboats can be seen extending into the extreme background. The five boats can be seen moving to the left as can be seen with the large waves behind the crafts. In each of the crafts, only one person is visible near the back end of the boat. The label across the boat closest to center reads: "B 59 General". The boat slightly further in the background at center reads: "B 85 Esmaral III". The labels across the other crafts are more difficult to see. In the extreme background at center, a group of spectators are visible atop a rocky jetty. Further in the background, industrial sites and large buildings are visible.
