[Man holding a dead shark on a boat]

This photograph was taken by Tudor Washington Collins (b.1898, d.1970), possibly in the 1940s.

 

In this photo, there is a boat tied to a wharf showing two wooden chairs, while a man wearing a light-colored singlet and a hat stands barefoot as a hook attached to a rope is tied around a shark's tail, seemingly preparing to lift it.

 

The photographic medium is gelatin dry plate negative, measuring 82 mm x 107 mm (1/4 plate), on glass. It is classified under negatives/photographs/AAT Visual Works.
