The image is a black and white photograph of a large ship being built in a harbor. The ship appears to be a passenger liner, as there are several tall chimneys visible on the side of the ship. The sky is overcast and the water is calm, suggesting that the photo was taken during the day.

In the foreground, there is a large crane on the right side, which is used to lift and move the ship from the water. The crane is made of metal and has multiple levels, with a long arm extending from the top to the bottom. There are several other cranes and other construction equipment scattered around the ship, indicating that it is in the process of being built. The image appears to have been taken from a distance, as the sky is not visible in the image.
