Philadelphia, Pa.
The Delaware River dominates this scene. To the left is a three-masted ship anchored before several warehouses. In the distant background are many, many other sailing vessels. To the right of center is a green island and a paddlewheel boat with two smoking stacks and a load of passengers. To the right is the green New Jersey shore. Two men are rowing along the river in a rowboat and two other men have beached their rowboat along the marshy Pennsylvania side.
