Seascape of a brown dock on the water. From left to right: a navy sailor stands with a woman in yellow. A woman in a white coat stands with a little boy holding a stuffed animal. A sailor stands with a woman in orange and a little girl in pink. A lone sailor stands at the right side in a salute. In the center of the paper, there is one battle ship with a larger ship behind it. Two smaller ships are on the left side. Behind the ships appears to be a construction flag with the American flag in the center. On the right side, there are city buildings in the distance. Author signed and dated scene as 1945.
