Photograph of the Chatham waterfront, as viewed from an approaching ship. The ship sails in partial view along the left edge of the image in the foreground. Its bow faces towards the back of the image. Cars are parked on the top deck and rigging lines stretch vertically above the ship from the starboard rails. Chatham stretches along the shore to the left of the ship and into the distance. The shoreline extends through the image from low left, arcing towards the right. A boat sails the strait in the near distance at center. Clouds hover between the mountains that rise from the shoreline in the background.
