The leftmost 2 girls both look to the camera and rest their hands in their coat pockets. The girl at right looks to the left. The deck extends behind them and slightly to the left. A windowed cabin stands in partial view along the left edge, behind the girls. Guardrails line the right side of the deck. Far down the deck, fellow passengers walk the deck and look over the rails.
