DescriptionDrawing of a man looking out over a shipping scene at a waterfront. A steamship and a sailing ship are at the dock. Another steamship is in the distance. Several men are carrying crates and boxes. A man and a woman are walking towards the boats carrying bags, with a horse-drawn cart partially visible. A man in the foreground is moving barrels marked, "Molasses". There are hills in the distance on the other side of the water, meant to be the Connecticut River.
