Description
Photograph of motor boat racing, ca.1930. A boat labeled "Habana II" carries two people in life vests while it races through the water in the center. The boats drive to the left creating waves of water in their wake. A boat to the right of center races forwards while two boats to the left of center drive on. A boat in the right background has no label or name on its side and appears to be more oddly shaped than the other boats. An industrial looking field sits in the background with what seems to be telephone or electrical posts standing tall in the distance.
