Three-quarters view of a sheer hulk--a decommissioned vessel repurposed as a floating crane in shipbuilding and repair--with Portsmouth Harbor in the background. The sheer hulk is being used to move some masts. At bottom left, in the foreground, the label on a barrel bobbing on the waves reads "PORT [obscured] DOCKYARD". Title and production information in the lower margin.
