The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing on the deck of a boat. He is shirtless and is holding onto a large rope that is tied to the side of the boat. The man is wearing a cap and appears to be in the process of pulling the rope. In the background, there are several other boats docked at a harbor. The water is calm and there are a few buildings visible in the distance. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
