A military landing craft appears before and after conversion into the two-deck excursion boat Hulbert No. 5. In the converted view, passengers fill the decks and an American flag flies over a wooded lake or river. The printed caption calls the outing the "Landing-Craft Big Falls Trip" at Hulbert, Michigan. The before-and-after pairing points to the postwar reuse of surplus landing craft for local excursion service.
