Description

A group of people outside cooking. There is steam or smoke obscuring some of the background, but there is building in the background. A man (left) holding what appears to be a bucket of seafood that has been steamed in a large pot on a fire. A group of young naval officers, wearing casual clothing and their white hats, stand and crouch to his right, looking on. Some hold glass bottles. Many appear to be smiling, laughing, and talking. On the back of the photo, the number 593 is stamped in ink.
