The image shows a side view of a large schooner named "Minnie C. Loud," dominating the scene from left to right. The ship is depicted in profile, with three tall masts and fully unfurled sails. The horizon is low, and there are gentle waves in the water. The ocean is depicted in vibrant shades of blue, contrasting with the light sky above painted with fluffy clouds. In the distance, two smaller sailing ships appear on either side of the schooner.
