A black and white stern view of a square-rigged ship with many of her sails half furled. At the bow of her stern are the words "Cedar Amble Port of No. Shields" The ship tugs a small rowboat with two men on board. The skyline of a city is in the background.
The photograph appears to have been mounted on a recycled board. On the verso, there are partially cut off printed inscriptions such as, "Jerusalem," "painting," "Allen & Rowell, Photographers," indicating the board was originally made to be a mounting for a different photograph.
