Postcard representing men on the hunt for tuna in the bay of Gaspé. At the forefront, we see a tuna fish whose back is transpierced by a harpoon.
The postcard also shows the type of vessel used for hunting on water. In the front, a man holds a spear with which they harpooned the fish. At the back were others who rowed and steered.
At the top, we can see the inscription "Horse Macherels (Tuna) Gaspé, Quebec, Canada".
