Here's a description of the image:

This is a black and white photograph depicting the arrival of a ship in Kobe. The scene focuses on a large sign that reads "WELCOME TO KOBE SS PRESIDENT CLEVELAND." An American flag is prominently displayed next to the ship's name. The photograph is taken from a slightly elevated perspective, possibly from the deck of the ship itself, looking towards the pier.

The scene is bustling with activity. There are people gathered on the pier, many likely there to greet the ship. Two awnings are in the foreground, partially obscuring the view. The style of the image suggests it was taken in the earlier part of the 20th century.

Here is a description of the image:

This black and white historical photograph showcases a bustling scene, possibly at a port or harbor, with a large sign prominently displayed that reads "WELCOME TO KOBE SS PRESIDENT CLEVELAND." The sign is flanked by an American flag.

The scene includes several figures, though their details are somewhat obscured due to the image's quality and contrast. Below the large sign, a smaller sign that appears to read "ESIDENT LINES" is visible. There are also structures that appear to be part of a building or dock, including corrugated walls, window frames, and an exterior ladder. Awnings provide cover for some individuals or areas below. The overall image is captured from a slightly elevated perspective, looking down at the scene. The image has the watermark/copyright line "© President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University Art Museums)" and the serial number "P1970.4501.0001" at the bottom.
