The image is a black and white photograph of a large boat on a body of water. The boat appears to be a steamboat or ferry, as there are two large smokestacks on either side of the boat. There are several people standing on the deck, some of them are looking out towards the water. In the background, there is a large building with a red roof and a chimney. The building is located on a hill, and there are trees and bushes along the shore. The sky is overcast and the water is calm. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
