A 2-masted spritsail rigged boat under sail in Port-au-Prince Bay, Haiti. She is towing three rowing boats in a line; the first boat is empty, the second has two men in it and the third contains one man who is using an oar over the transom to aid steering. In the background is the city of Port-au-Prince and to the left of centre is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption. On the hill on the left, barely visible, are two extremely tall wireless masts
