Diving boys boats alongside the passenger/cargo liner Lady Somers (1929) at Nassau, Bahamas.

A port quarter view, taken from wide off the stern, of the passenger/cargo liner Lady Somers (1929) anchored at Nassau, Bahamas. The stern of the ship is out of the picture. Five rowing boats, each controlled by a man using a sculling oar over the transom, have diving boys in them waiting for passengers on board the Lady Somers (1929) to throw coins into the harbour for them to dive in and retrieve.
