In the middle distance passengers walk across the 'gangplank' boarding the ship. The port-side of the hull and upper decks of the liner can be seen. On the port-side of the liner, the name 'Lucania' is visible. There is a small, stationary boat full of people in front of the bow of the ship. A crowd of people stands on the quayside looking down at the stretch of water between the quay and the liner where three men are standing up and bobbing up and down in a rowing boat.
