The image is a black and white photograph of a large ship under construction. The ship appears to be a passenger liner, as there are several cranes and other construction equipment visible on the deck. The sky is overcast and the ground is wet, suggesting that it has recently rained. In the foreground, there is a body of water, possibly a river or a lake, and in the background, there are trees and buildings. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the ship.
