Content description:
A man is working on the construction of a boat which will probably be a copy of Jack London's boat, the Snark, the hull of which is resting on blocks. The boat's ribs and keel are not yet sheathed. A ladder is leaning agaisnt the hull. The man is taking a photograph with his camera. There is a building with a tower and clock. The notation on the back of the photo reads "Jack London-"Snark," but it is unclear what the notation means: location, i.e. Jack London Square or ownership, a copy of the Snark sailed by Jack London.
