Can You Explain This Photo?

Here in the editorial dungeon of Latitude 38‘s World Headquarters we receive photos from all over the world depicting a wide range of nautical subject matter. The photo above, however, is one of the must unusual we’ve seen in a while.

We know what the story behind it, of course, but we thought it would be fun to let you take a stab at explaining exactly what’s going on in this scene. Be the first to answer correctly and we’ll send you some official Latitude 38 swag:

Questions:

1) Why do these sailors have so many dinghies piled on their decks?

2) Where are they?

3) What is their profession?
