The image is a black and white photograph of a busy pier with a large cruise ship in the background. The pier is located on the right side of the image and the water is visible on the left side. In the foreground, there is a large crowd of people gathered on the pier, with a clock tower in the center. The clock tower has a steeple and a clock on top, and there are several boats on the water near it. The sky is cloudy and the overall mood of the photograph is lively and bustling. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century.
