The image depicts a black and white print or engraving of a dramatic maritime scene. There are two main structures in the scene: a cargo ship and a submarine. The ship, labeled "POTRERO DEL LLANO," is being overwhelmed by large, dark waves, and smoke billows from its funnel, suggesting it may be under distress or attack. The contrast between the dark vessel and the white frothing waves creates a sense of turmoil and drama. On the right side of the image, a submarine is partly submerged in the water, its conning tower protruding above the surface. The sky above is streaked with lines, implying a stormy or windy environment. Beneath the artwork is a caption that reads, "77 EL HUNDIMIENTO DEL 'POTRERO DEL LLANO' POR LOS NAZIS, EL 1 DE MAYO DE 1942. Grabado de Ignacio Aguirre." This translates to "The sinking of the 'POTRERO DEL LLANO' by the Nazis, on May 1, 1942. Engraving by Ignacio Aguirre." This text suggests that the image is a representation of a historical event during World War II, when the Mexican oil tanker Potrero del Llano was sunk by a German U-boat. This event had significant historical implications as it influenced Mexico's decision to join the Allies in World War II. The artist, Ignacio Aguirre, created this work as a visual documentation or commemoration of the event.

This is a dramatic black and white woodcut print depicting a maritime scene from May 13, 1942. The artwork shows the sinking of the "Potrero del Llano," a Mexican merchant vessel, by a Nazi submarine (U-boat) which can be seen in the foreground with its distinctive swastika marking. The ship is shown in distress in rough seas with smoke billowing from its smokestack. The artist, Ignacio Aguirre, captured the turbulent waves and dark atmosphere of this historical event through bold, expressive linework characteristic of woodcut prints. The composition effectively conveys the tension and violence of the moment, with the submarine menacingly positioned in the lower portion of the image while the merchant vessel struggles above. This incident was one of several attacks on Mexican vessels that eventually led to Mexico's entry into World War II on the Allied side.
