Diving boys and their boats in the harbour at Nassau, Bahamas.

Diving boys and their boats in the harbour at Nassau, Bahamas. Six open boats are each controlled by a man with a sculling oar over the transom and each contains one or two diving boys who are waiting for passengers on board an ocean-going ship to throw coins into the harbour for them to dive in and retrieve. Two of the boys are starting to dive in from their boats.
