Artist, American, 1864 - 1946

The image shows a large ship with four smokestacks in the distance across a body of water. There is a dockside building with a pitched roof to the right and a smaller vessel moored nearby. Large white posts and a coiled rope are in the foreground, likely part of a dock structure. The color palette is sepia-toned, giving the image an aged look. The water reflects the sky above, and the dark hull of the ship contrasts with the lighter sky.
