Diving boys near a cruise ship motor lifeboat offshore at Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, West Indies.

Diving boys and their rowing boats near a cruise ship's motor lifeboat offshore at Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, West Indies. The motor lifeboat is heading for the landing stage and the diving boys are encouraging the passengers to throw coins into the harbour for them to dive in and retrieve. Four rowing boats are in the picture and three of the boys are already in the water. A fishing cutter is at anchor close inshore and open boats are drawn up on the beach in front of an open sided shed under a corrugated iron roof. Next to the shed is a two storey building with arched windows and doors surrounded by decorative stone blocks. The corners of the building are also edged in stone blocks. Forested hills are in the background.
