The camera looks down towards a ship's deck where an airplane wing sits. The wing is enclosed in a crate at center. It appears to sit atop other crates. At the far back corner of the crate, a man stands atop the the crate and looks down towards the airplane wing sitting within it. The C. A. Larsen's deck occupies the majority of the image, stretching back on an angle to the right. Crates, planks of wood, masts and rigging lie across the deck. Harbor waters are visible in the background at left.
This photograph is likely related to the article, “VIKINGS TRIM ANTARCTIC SAIL: Explorer Byrd's Party Will Begin Voyage Today Intrepid Group Starting for Uncharted Perils Expedition Thrusts at Last Outpost of Globe,” Los Angeles Times, 10 Oct. 1928: A1
