content: Black and white pen and ink sketch showing stores being unloaded from newly arriving ships from America at the docks at Brest, France. Workers move freight on the dock in the foreground. Large stacks of supplies, some of which are covered in tarps, have almost completely covered the docks. The masts of ships can be seen behind the docks in the background. Two small boats are being tied to the dock by two men at the bottom left of the drawing. A man sits holding a rope at the bottom right of the drawing. Sketch is on white paper mounted on tan card, which is ruled with decorative graphite lines.
