On the wooden deck of a ship, a young boy stands next to a large, polished brass bollard. The bollard has a bulbous top with several round holes lined with green paint. The boy touches the holes and the top of the bollard, seemingly exploring its texture and features. In the background, several people are walking along the deck toward a cabin-like structure. Lifeboats are visible on the side of the ship. A life preserver marked "CHILE" hangs on the structure in the background. The scene takes place in daylight under fair weather.
