The image is a black and white photograph of a large ship sailing on the water. The ship appears to be a cargo ship, as there is a large smokestack on the right side of the ship and a smaller ship on the left side. The sky is overcast and the water is choppy, suggesting that the photo was taken during the day. There are several people on the ship, some of whom are standing on the deck and others are walking along the shore. There is a flagpole with a flag flying from it, and a bridge can be seen in the background. The photograph appears to have been taken from a distance, as the ship is in motion.
