A Tug in a Heavy Sea

"Many spectators who have viewed this picture on the Biograph have insisted that they have experienced the pangs of seasickness. The picture was taken from the deck of one tug which was tumbling and tossing in the immense rollers, while the tug that was being photographed was similarly affected. At times the billows break over the bow of the tiny craft and almost bury it from sight in the spray. One of the biggest hits of the Biograph."
