The image is a black and white photograph of a large ship docked at a pier. The ship appears to be a steamboat or a tugboat, with a tall mast and a large smokestack. There are several people on the deck of the ship, some of whom are standing and some are walking on the pier. In the background, there is a city skyline with buildings and a clock tower. The sky is overcast and the ground is covered in snow. The photograph appears to have been taken during the winter season.
