This is a large group of people congregated on a wharf in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts. There is a pier where the steamboat Sankaty has docked and people are getting on and off the boat. A sign on top of the covered standing area reads New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket Steamboat Company. A line of cars are stopped in traffic leading up to the group and you can see the ocean in the background.
