Mechanics and officials wade into the harbor water at the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix to retrieve a race car following a first-lap pile-up. A wave flooding the track on the corner of the Bureau de Tabac caused the accident, which eliminated several drivers, including Giuseppe "Nino" Farina, Robert Manzon, and Harry Schell. From a nearby stone staircase, spectators and a police officer watch the urgent, collaborative effort to clear the waterfront promenade.
