Type of trailer for moving surf boats


Another nautical photo I rescued from oblivion. It's a surf launch at the old Cape Henlopen Coast Guard Station taken in 1937. The words LEWES and U.S. COAST GUARD are visible on the boat (click on picture for higher resolution). Looks to me like the tire's a bit dug in on this one. I imagine the NCO on the right thinking "Dammit - how'd that ever happen? The procedure doesn't cover this." and the enlisted swab on the left (cooly dragging on a butt) thinking "What the hell did you expect, dumbass. It's sand."
