A black-and-white, rectangular photograph with rounded corners is mounted on a dark scrapbook page using triangular black photo corners. The image captures the port side of a large, multi-decked steamship, the S.S. President Hoover, as it sits low in the water. The ship’s hull is dark and shows signs of wear or damage, with several rectangular openings or missing sections of shell plating visible near the waterline. Two dark, vertical smokestacks rise from the top deck, which features white upper-deck structures and various masts and rigging. The surrounding water is calm with slight ripples, and the sky in the background is pale and overcast. To the right of the photograph, a vertical color calibration strip and a metric ruler are visible, used for archival documentation. At the top left of the digital frame, the letters TIND are printed in a stylized white font.
