The approaching small steel watercraft, marked CG-261 has one man standing behind a gun at the bow while another stands beneath a mast adorned with two flags, one dark in color and the other white, bearing a "5". In the leftmost foreground sit two men in a sailboat marked "6/34". In the distance is another sailboat with its mast facing the horizon.
