In the background, stacks of lumber are visible loaded in front of a four-masted schooner, which is only partially visible behind the wharf. Three other sailing ships are visible in the background docked along the opposite side of the channel. Behind them in the far distance, a long, narrow wharf can be seen.

Scott".; Writing along the side of the freight cars reads "Ilinois Central Railroad", and "San Antonio Arkansas Pass Mission Route".
