Dead End I, Queensborough Bridge, NY (Three men on dock)
1936

A black and white photograph depicting a group of people on a dock, with some wearing sailor hats and one person in a bowler hat. In the background, there are ships on the water and a faint silhouette of the Statue of Liberty in the distance. A large crane structure is visible on the right side of the image. The sky is partly cloudy, casting a dramatic light over the scene.
