A woman with flipped forelock of hair and tiny beret, Mine Okubo, stands with her luggage after arriving from France via boat in New York City before the United States entered World War II. Dressed in a jacket, Mine clutches her bag and coat to her body in foreground left, looking towards the left. Her suitcases and trunk sit next to her. People gathered at midground greet and wave to people disembarking the boat in the background.
