About this work

This photo shows two big ships sailing in choppy water. One is a steamship with tall smokestacks, puffing out smoke, and the other is a wooden sailing ship with canvas sails. In the distance, a snowy mountain rises behind them, and the sky is partly cloudy with soft light. The steamship’s red flag stands out against the pale sky. The waves look rough, but the ships seem steady. Next, look up *Museum of Ethnography* to see where this photo is kept.
