At center, the U.S. Coast Guard ship, CG-257, sits on the water while monitoring a swim event. It is viewed from its port side and faces towards the left. Its identification marking, "CG-257," is scrolled along the hull towards the bow. A few sailors man the small vessel. One sailor stands atop the boat's cabin and waves a flag. On the horizon at far left, a lighthouse is visible.
