This is a picture of a schooner underway towing a rowboat. The lighting is darker and the reflection of the sun on the water is giving it a sparkling effect. The scattered cloud formations offer an "artistic" contrast to the sailboat shrouded in shadows.
This photograph is damaged. There is a crease which runs down the center which can be seen when it is held up.
