DescriptionThere are three small boats next to a dock, and two more boats floating closely behind them. In the middle boat by the dock, two children stand holding onto the mast, while a third sits with one leg dangling down into the boat next to them. In that boat, two children sit on benches while a third stands at the front facing away from the camera. Stephen P. Cheney is the boy in the boat on the right who sits resting his chin in his hands.
