The painting features a marine view from an implied (out of frame) harbor. It includes sail boats and clipper ships. Most prominent is a clipper ship depicted just right of center. Figures in the foreground animate the scene. On the left, a group of workers return to shore in a boat. A lone man loiters on the dock to the right of center. On the same dock at the far right, two men engage in conversation.
