The image shows a group of six men standing on the deck of a ship. They are all wearing dark blue uniforms and caps. The ship appears to be sailing on the ocean, as the water is visible in the background. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.

In the center of the deck, there is a man sitting on a chair, holding a rifle and looking out towards the horizon. He is wearing a black shirt and jeans and is holding a gun in his right hand. To his left, there are two other men standing, one of them is holding the rifle and the other is looking at the other man. On the right side of the photo, there appears to have a large yellow cannon or cannon on the ship's deck. The cannon is mounted on a white railing and there are several other cannons and equipment scattered around the deck.
