The image is a black and white photograph of a boat in the ocean. The boat appears to be a sailboat, as there are several people on board, and they are standing on the deck of the boat. The sky is cloudy and the water is choppy, with small waves visible on the right side of the image. In the background, there is a small island visible in the distance. The photograph is captioned "Deutsche Unterseeboote sichten vier englische Großkampfschiffte" which translates to "The boat is sailing on the sea" in English.
