This is a black-and-white photograph of a coastal scene featuring a group of people engaged in labor on a beach. The central focus is a large, wooden crate or structure resting on the shore, possibly for transportation or storage. Several men, some shirtless, are working together to maneuver wooden planks or beams. The wet sand beneath their feet reflects their figures, suggesting the tide is low.

In the background, there are individuals in the water and more people scattered on a rocky area farther away. A ship or boat is visible in the distance on the right, suggesting maritime activity. The overall atmosphere is industrious and utilitarian, set against the backdrop of the sea under an overcast sky.

This image depicts a black-and-white photograph of a beach scene, featuring a group of people gathered around a large boat on the shore. The boat is positioned with its bow facing the water, and a tarpaulin or canvas cover is draped over it. A smaller boat is partially visible to the left of the larger vessel.
