About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a long, narrow boat cutting through rough waves. The water is choppy, with whitecaps and dark swirls. In the background, another boat sits farther out, and the sky is heavy with clouds. The boat’s shape looks old-fashioned, with high sides and a single mast. The photo feels dramatic, like a storm might be coming. Next, check out what a longboat is.
