Sepia-toned panoramic group portrait of a large number of people, most wearing peaked caps, posed on a street, presumably Main Street, on Mackinac Island. Several of the men kneeling in the front are in pirate costumes consisting of knit caps, eye patches, and hoop earrings, and are holding prop pistols, knives, and balloons. The Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company passenger steamer CITY OF CLEVELAND III is docked in the background. "Mackinaw[sic] Is. 1912 - Poss. Chamber of Commerce Annual Cruise," is handwritten on the verso.
