A horizontally oriented sepia-toned photogravure depicts several people sailing two long wooden canoes across rippled water. In the middle ground, the vessels carry dark sails and feature intricate patterns on their prows. A pale sky meets a faint landmass on the horizon, while the water fills the lower half of the composition. The entire scene is rendered in monochromatic brown tones, capturing a moment of sea travel.
