Local traders in rowing boats in Port-au-Prince Bay, Haiti

Traders in six locally built rowing boats in Port-au-Prince Bay, Haiti. Each boat contains a mix of fruit, baskets and small items of furniture and they have one or two persons in them. The traders are hoping to sell their wares to tourists on board a passenger cruise ship which is at anchor, but not in the picture. The photographer is either in one of the ship's boats or is at the foot of the accommodation ladder.
