Overview
View of a number of people working in and around a pair of sheds, one with corrugated iron walls, the other an open structure of wooden posts with a wood floor and corrugated iron roof. A group of men, some of them European, are standing around crates on the platform between the two sheds. Another group are unloading a cart into the open shed. There are some thatched roofs partly visible behind the open shed. Two Cook Islander men and a child are standing in the left foreground, one of the men wearing a suit and reading.
