A Swimming Race at Coney Island (1904)

Overview

The camera was positioned on a seashore. In the distance, there is a small sailboat on which several people are standing. Two of the passengers on the small boat dive into the water and begin to swim toward the camera. Spectators in the water cheer the two swimmers. They reach the shore, walk out of the water and out of camera range. Each is wearing the insignia of the red cross on his swimsuit.
