People wait for the ferry to Oakland. The crowd is almost exclusively made up of men. There are people on the wharf, as well as on the ferry. Two American flags fly on the ferry. A sign on the front reads, "walk your horses" and a beam in the background has the word "Wellington" printed on it. There are wires overhead and tracks in the foreground.
