Diving boys in open boats in the north harbour of Algiers. The boys are wearing swimming trunks and are in six boats, one of which is named Chicago. One of the boats has a transom stern, the others are double-ended. The boys will dive into the harbour to retrieve objects, mainly coins, thrown by passengers on the cruise liners. The photographer is on board a cruise liner looking down with a pontoon in the foreground.
