This is a photograph of multiple strips of film negatives laid out on a flat surface. The image contains black and white negatives showing various scenes, including ship components, parts of a deck, and views across the water. Some frames show close-up action or portraits. The film strips are unrolled and slightly overlapping, with sprocket holes along the edges. The arrangement resembles a contact sheet presentation. The film is labeled as "Eastman Safety Film."
