A vertically oriented lithograph in dense black ink depicts a shipyard site. A massive cylindrical tank is suspended at an angle in the center, framed by tall scaffolding and rigging. Below, small workers with light skin tones pull ropes, one signaling with a raised arm at our left. Heavy, hatched lines create deep shadows across the scene. A wheeled cart sits in the lower foreground on the left.
