About this subject

A large two-funneled ocean liner with a black hull and white superstructure lies offshore or at dock, with a city waterfront of tall buildings behind it to the right. In the foreground a small open motorboat with two occupants speeds across choppy blue water, and small harbor craft cluster near the liner's bow.
