A close view of Atlantic surf breaking at Nantasket Beach, with a large wave cresting into white foam across the foreground and rows of smaller whitecaps beyond. The sky above the horizon fades from soft pink to lavender, suggesting sunrise or sunset over the water. Nantasket Beach, on the Hull peninsula south of Boston, was a long-established summer resort; its ocean-facing strand and steady surf drew day-trippers and vacationers from the city.
