Description

Photograph of commercial tuna fishing, ca.1920. A line of men stand on the outer platform of a boat with fishing poles in their hands. The men stand in shallow water wearing knee high boots and floppy hats while two men in the foreground seem to struggle to pull in fish at the end of their lines. To the left, the boat seems to be loaded with tuna fish while the water on the right rages with the motion of the ocean and the struggle of the fish.
