Photograph looking up at a pallet of cargo being unloaded from the top deck of a ship. The ship sits in partial view in the near distance. Cargo netting stretches in front of the left half of the ship. The ship's decks stretch horizontally across the image. Both lower decks appear to be lined with passenger cabins. On the upper deck, boxes of cargo sit atop a pallet that is being hoisted from the ship. Rigging and masts extend vertically from the top of the ship to the right of the cargo.
