Description

Photograph of the Standard Oil Company tanker, J. H. McEachern, sailing through Port Valdez, as viewed from the side of another ship. The waterway occupies the majority of the image. It spans the foreground and extends back into the distance. The edge of a ship stretches along the left edge. In the near distance, people stand in a line along the rail of the ship. The tanker sails in the distance, just to the right of the near ship. It is viewed at a slight distance from the side as it sails towards the right. Hills rise across the opposite shoreline in the far distance.
