Description

Black and white photo of a structure at a marina used to move boats in and out of the water. The main object of interest in this image is a pier on wooden pilings that has a solid floor near the shore and an open area at the water end. On the pier is a metal framework made up of steel beams and mounted on wheels that run along the sides of the pier. On the framework is hoisting equipment for raising or lowering a boat onto a transport or into the water. In this image the boat, which has a white hull and a mast lying on its top, is on the shore end of the pier and is being lowered onto a flat-bed truck. The tractor part of the transport is on the right side of the image and the cab has on its door "Associated boat transport". Two persons are visible above or behind the boat. They are wearing foul weather gear. There are rain drops visible and behind the truck are persons holding an umbrella. There is a white border on all sides and the bottom border is larger. There is no information on the back except for a faint repeated statement that says "This paper manufactured by Kodak".
