Boats and wooden buildings at a small settlement on the Ilha Jararaca near Belem, Brazil. Wooden boats are on the shore under thatched roof shelters and wooden buildings with palm frond roofs are in the background. Two boats afloat next to river bank on the left are carrying cargoes of root wood or firewood. The photographer is ashore during a cruise on the Swedish passenger cruise ship Kungsholm (1928).
