Sepia-toned photo of the hydroplane DUKIE on a trailer surrounded by an open structure composed of several girders. A man wearing lightly colored cover-alls, with "Dukie," and the Gulf Oil logo on the back kneels beside the trailer as a man on the right edge of the frame leans toward him. Another man in a fedora stands with his back to the camera on the left edge of the frame. A note that accompanied the photo when it was previously housed inside an album read, "G-9 DUKIE, owner-driver, Howard "Whitey" Hughes of Detroit 1948."
