Diving boys in open boats in the north harbour of Algiers. The boys are wearing swimming trunks and are in five boats, one of which is named Chicago. One of the boats has a transom stern, the others are double-ended. Four of the boys are in the water to retrieve objects, mainly coins, thrown by passengers on the cruise liners. The photographer is on board a cruise liner looking down and towards the waterfront showing railway wagons on the quay. Wording on buildings at the back of the quay read "L'Eschenauer & Co, Frederic Lung Successors, Royal Kebir - Imperial Kebir." On a two storey building on the upper roadway is Casino Munisipal.
