Description provided by photographer Roy Simonson reads: "An LCT (landing craft, tanks) operated by Okinawans parked on the beach at Kawata for loading with firewood to be hauled to the southern part of the island. This LCT is like the boat on which Coleman and I stayed at Ada last year. The LCVP (Ianding craft, vehicles, and personnel) beyond the LCT is also used for hauling freight."
