This sketch shows three big ships docked at a pier. One ship is a submarine, low in the water with a dark hull. The other two look like warships with tall masts and flags. The water is rough, and the whole scene is drawn in quick, light lines. The artist focused on the shapes and movement of the ships. The submarine’s curved form stands out against the sharp lines of the warships. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
