The camera faces towards the ship's bow. Cars and passengers occupy the deck of the ship. Rigging stretches over the deck. To the left of the ship, Orca Inlet extends into the distance. Beyond the ship, the buildings of Orca sit atop piers that jut into the inlet at center. A distant shore is visible at left. Clouds form between the mountains that rise across the background.
