With the laconic ease and grace of a Wilhelm Von Gloeden photograph, two boys are enjoying a warm summer's day, lounging on a wooden ship that has been pulled up onto the beach, while admiring a passing liner on its way to distant, exotic locales. Pictured is probably the Carmania or her sister ship Caronia, both built in 1905.
