This photo would've been taken in 1934 during the shooting of THE CAPTAIN HATES THE SEA, which costarred Skipworth. This seems to be a posed offset shot (though that ship's deck might be a location shoot, I've never seen the film, which was shot at least in part on Catalina Island). Since the Stooges appear in mufti, I'm guessing it's a photo which doesn't correspond to anything in the film's action.
