Summary: 

Print shows two sailors on the shore in the foreground, with an ironclad warship and a group of masted vessals on the water in the background; one of the sailors stands facing forward with one hand on his hip as he gestures towards the ships behind him, an expression of exasperation on his face, as the second man sits facing the water with his head resting on his fists.
