The image is a black and white photograph of a large cruise ship sailing on the ocean. The ship appears to be a passenger liner, as there are multiple large smokestacks on the deck and a tall mast on the right side of the ship. The sky is cloudy and the water is choppy, suggesting that the photo was taken from a distance. There are no other ships or boats visible in the image. The overall mood of the image is somber and desolate.
