On the backside of the photograph:
Seamen aboard the Cabo Pilar snare a small leader line, preparing to draw aboard the hawser coiled on the deck of the tugboat Schley. Above, two employes of the Panama Canal Company rest during a break from their task of cleaning the Miraflores lock gates. Many working-class Panamanians favor U.S. control of the canal.
