This is an etching or a print depicting a busy harbor scene. The foreground shows a wooden pier or dock leading the viewer's perspective toward the center of the image, where numerous sailing ships with tall masts are docked or moored in the water. The ships appear closely packed together, and some sails are unfurled while others are furled around the masts.

On the dock, there are several figures engaged in various activities which can be inferred as related to maritime commerce or possibly the comings and goings of a typical harbor environment. To the left, there are buildings suggesting an urban waterfront setting, with details like windows and what may be a clock tower reaching into the sky. The time indicated on the etching seems to be 1859, noted by the artist's signature at the bottom right, along with the name "Whistler," which could be the artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler or another artist with the same surname.

The style of the etching features expressive line work and a high level of detail that provides a sense of movement and activity, reflecting the hustle and bustle of port life in the 19th century. The atmosphere is conveyed through the variation of lines and cross-hatching, creating a dynamic and somewhat moody scene.
