This watercolor represents a dry docked boat at the right of the composition. The boat is not entirely represented, but is instead cropped by the edge of the sheet. There is a ladder leaning against the side of the boat, and two posts prominently standing in the foreground. Behind the boat is a calm body of water, on which another boat can partially be seen. In the distance is a house and a loose green passage, alluding to a landscape.

This image is created in black ink on paper. It represents a steamboat labeled “R. G. McCalla” on the water. The boat is at a dock on which there is a dockhouse and a small rowboat. In the background, two figures row on the water. Beyond their boat, a hill rises in the background. There is a house and a power pole on top of the hill.
