In order to "fix" this photo, one has to be able to see the human forms embedded in it -- living human forms. The carved rock face of an old man confounded me for a while.
The photo as you showed it has a scale of 1024 by 768; and it is falsely colored. Once I was able to recognize and identify the human figures, then it was not difficult to correct the scale, so that the human figures were in human-like proportions, not like bean poles. So, the scale is now 680 by 230, half its "prepared" vertical size.
I used low hue values because so much of this photo is in shadow. There are at least four men standing the water near piers on the right. There are decks, scaffolding, paths, and people all over the place. Notice the family in the leftside foreground, now in proportion and not hidden.
This was fun for me. I love to try to get back the original flavor of a photo, as you know. It's a form of photographic forensics, I guess.
