Fire hose
These sailors are using a fire hose for a shower on deck.
In the days of coal-fired ships, coaling was a grimy operation and afterwords, out of sight of land, all the sailors who had been involved would strip off and wash that coal dust off themselves and the ship. Not sure if this picture is post-coaling, but it looks World War One to me.
That must be perishingly cold.
