The image is a black and white photograph of a large ship sailing on the water. The ship appears to be a passenger liner, with multiple large smokestacks and a flat deck. It is sailing on a calm body of water, with a few smaller boats visible in the distance. On the right side of the image, there is a wooden pier with a railing and a lamp post. In the foreground, there are two people standing on the pier, looking out at the water and the ship. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is peaceful and serene.
