Photograph depicting a three-quarter view of the ship Rousseau at a wharf, with the bowsprit pointing to the right, and another ship visible behind her. There is a small boat partially visible in the foreground. The Rousseau has been stripped of sails and most of the rigging is also absent. More masts rise up in the background. Printed in the lower margin is the following information:
"Copyright, 1892, by G. B. Case. Bark Rousseau. New Bedford, Mass. Built 1801."
