A group of off duty crew from 'Carinthia' (1925) posing with a captured shark on deck. Even with this informal photograph some of the men are still in their uniforms, and an officer can be seen looking over the side behind the group.

These crew members take a break from work to proudly display a shark caught in the Pacific Ocean. The two men on the right are chefs. 'Carinthia' was a Cunard Line ship whose crew of 450 would look after 1652 passengers.
