An out-of-focus photograph of the docks lining the Chatham waterfront and extending out into the inlet. A dock extends from the bottom edge at right and towards the distance. A gangplank descends to the dock from the lower right corner. A few people stand at the end of the gangplank in the near distance, right-of-center. An inlet surrounds the dock and extends into the distance. The shoreline of Chatham juts into frame in the distance at right. From the shore, another pier extends into the water from right to left. Mountains rise from the left shore in the background.
