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 flagpole on the right side of the ship. The sky is overcast and the water is choppy, with small waves visible on the surface. The photograph is taken from a distance, with the ship in the center of the frame. The overall mood of the image is somber and desolate.
