DescriptionView of fifteen (mostly young) men standing on a dock. Two men sit in front, on a bench. The rest stand in a row behind them. The one in the middle crouches forward to lean on the bench. The fifth man from the right appears to be older than the rest and is holding a wooden oar. The man on the far right is wearing a sweater that has the letters "B", "Y" and "C" on it, with the "Y" larger than the other letters. The man third from the right is wearing a sweater with the letter "Y" on it. He is reaching over and touching the leg of the person to his left, with his left hand. The man sixth from the left is wearing a sweater that has a backwards "G" on it. The man two to the right of him is wearing a three piece suit with a bow tie. This could be a team photograph of a crew team at Yale.
