The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people standing on the deck of a ship. The ship appears to be sailing on the ocean, with the sun setting in the background. The sky is cloudy and the water is calm, with a few small waves visible on the right side of the image. The people on the ship are looking out towards the horizon. They are all wearing uniforms and hats, and some are standing on top of the deck, while others are sitting on the railing. The image is captioned in German, which translates to "The deck of the ship is the deck itself, and it is the only way to reach the horizon."
