The waterfront at Frenchtown, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The photographer is looking north-east-by-east from the beach at Frenchtown showing a man unloading an armful of long stalks of vegetable matter from a small open boat drawn up to the water's edge. Single masted sailing boats are drawn up onto the foreshore on the left and another is aground and listing to port just offshore. The west and central districts of the town are in the background and one of the tall lattice steel radio masts is on the extreme right. Wooded hills surround the town.
