This picture represents the story of a famous boat voyage. Here, the captains are in a heated discussion of the best course for travel and whether all the necessary precautions were met in order to depart the harbor. Both the African American and Caucasian captains have much respect for each other and are in charge of separate but equally important roles on this ship. The passengers are all on board and ready to make way to sea. This trip is very important and it is the first time that these men have been in charge of such a trip.
