The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing on the deck of a boat. He is wearing a suit and a hat, and is holding a rope in his right hand. The boat appears to be docked at a harbor, as there are other boats visible in the background. The man is standing in front of the boat, and there are ropes and other rigging visible on the right side of the image. The sky is overcast and the water is calm. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
