One sepia-toned photograph of a group of twelve "Cruisabout" powerboats that were built by the Richardson Boat Company of North Tonawanda, New York. The view looks across a harbor or canal and shows the transoms of the wooden powerboats which are moored side by side at the Richardson Boat Co., Inc., dock. Parked cars can be seen along the shoreline in the background as well as covered/uncovered powerboats in drydock, trees, and the boat factory buildings. The names and home ports of the moored boats are (left to right): "NELMA, ---; FINISTERRE II, Freeport, L.I. [Long Island]; NORTH WIND II, New York; HERMIT II, New York; MARTHA, New York; CAREFREE; REBE H., Red Bank, N.J.; LADY LUCK, Hartford; NANCY LEE, New York; HELGA, Bayside, New York; JOY MADDREN, Freeport, New York; YAMRAH II." Black printed text in the lower left corner of the photo reads "Richardson Cruisabout."
