Photograph of a fishing boat moored to a dock in Plymouth. The harbor's waters stretch across the foreground. Alongside it, at left, a dock extends back along the left edge. In the near distance, a small wharf extends perpendicularly from the dock at left and towards the right. In front of the dock, at center, a small fishing boat sits on the water. It is viewed from the side, facing right. A few men are visible along the near edge of the dock, to the left of the boat. Crates and barrels sit stacked along the back edge of the dock. Masts of other moored boats are visible along the right side of the dock. Ocean waters stretch into the distance behind the dock. Four punched holes line the bottom edge at right.
