The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men working on the deck of a ship. The ship appears to be docked at a harbor, as there are other boats visible in the background. The men are wearing hard hats and overalls, and some are bending down to pick up a large piece of wood from the deck. There are ropes and other equipment scattered around the deck, and a large sail can be seen in the top left corner of the image. The sky is overcast and the water is calm, suggesting that the photo was taken during the day.
