Building Ships: A Shipyard
Summary
A shipyard scene with cranes of varying sizes on the right side. Figures and machinery are found throughout the scene. A warehouse with smoke rising from the chimneys is in the background on the left side. Scaffolding is in the right foreground with ropes attached cutting across the image diagonally to the left and attaching to an unseen structure on the left. The ropes are the most prominent part of the scene and direct your eye around the scene. Small figures are climbing up the crane and scaffolding. Smoke populates the sky.
