The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men standing in front of a large ship. The ship appears to be docked at a dock or harbor, as there are other boats visible in the background. The men are dressed in military-style clothing, with some wearing hats and jackets, and others wearing coats and hats. They are all smiling and looking at the camera. In the center of the image, there is a large wooden boat with a crane attached to it. The boat is tilted slightly to the side, and there are several ropes and other equipment scattered around it.
