The image shows a large black ship with the word "Peking" written on the side. The ship appears to be docked at a dock or harbor, as there are several other ships visible in the background. On top of the ship, there is a red flag with a white cross on it. The flag is attached to a crane with a hook, which is likely used to lift or move the flag. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
