A horizontally oriented lithograph on tan paper uses scratchy, dark lines to depict a textured shipyard. A massive battleship with two tall lattice masts and heavy, draped ropes dominates the center and right. Dense, swirling scribbles form smoke rising behind tall industrial cranes on the left. Biplanes fly through the sky above while tiny figures gather near curving railroad tracks in the lower foreground, emphasizing the scene's vast industrial scale.
