Black and white negative of an oyster boat. There is water in the foreground. The boat is low in the water with a deck that is partly open and partly filled with a deck house. In the open deck are various items including what appears to be gasoline engines. Behind the boat is a floating dock with its attendant pilings and supports. Further back is a ramp and a building with what appears to be large doors at the bottom and at the top is part of a sign says "acks St. Wharf". There is a white border on all sides, and in the bottom border is "#235" and "10/16/29".
This negative is inserted along with a print of the image into a brown envelope that has typed "New Orleans--Oyster Boats on the Mississippi 10/16/29". Stamped is "235" and "indexed".Made/Created
