Depicts a number of ships in the river, including a steamboat [which flies a U.S. flag] and sloops. Two small clusters of buildings are situated directly across the river from one another. The river bends away from the photographer on the left hand side of the image, just below the towns. One building in the foreground bears the sign: "Ship Chandlery." A group of men stand next to some buildings and the ruins of a chimney on the far right. Across the river from them is a row of tents.
