Two ropes connect to the ship and extend off to the left. Two men are visible on the deck of the ship. A small sign along the railing reads: "Keep Clear of Propellers". Writing along the body of the ship reads: "[...]merville". In the background across the water, a series of large ships can be seen. To the right, a sign on a building reads: "Catalina".
