The rail lining the side of the ship stretches on an upward angle from left to right. A waterway stretches across the image beyond the ship. In the distance, buildings dot the shoreline at center and right. A tree-covered mountainside rises up from behind the settlement. Text from negative sleeve: 2175. Alaska Trip.
