In the near distance at right and center, about a couple dozen people crowd a wharf in Fish Harbor. They are viewed from an elevated perspective. All face either towards the camera or to the left. Near the lower left corner, a few men position a gangplank between the dock and Walter Wanderwell's yacht, Carma, at far left. The yacht stretches past the upper left corner. Behind the crowd of people, another gangplank stretches up and beyond the top frame at center.
