A column of approximately twenty young men in dark naval uniforms, some wearing white sailor hats and others black peaked caps with gold insignia, marches along a wide stone sidewalk. One individual in the middle of the group wears a bright yellow reflective vest. To their right, a stone parapet borders what appears to be a canal or river. On the left, mature trees line the path, behind which grand, historic buildings with distinctive architecture and green roofs are visible. In the background, streetlights, traffic, and other pedestrians can be seen. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight, with shadows cast on the pavement, indicating sunny weather. The atmosphere is that of an organized procession or parade rehearsal. A "no anchoring" sign is visible across the street. The sound of distant traffic or machinery is audible.
