The photograph provides a side-profile close-up of the white sailing ship Meridianas resting in the calm waters of the Dane River. On the ship's deck, a sign clearly reading "MERIDIANAS" marks the restaurant area situated beneath protective sunshades.

The vessel displays wooden masts with an intricate rigging system, a lifeboat secured to its side, and lines of flags strung between the mast tops. The foresails and headsails are partially open, revealing their detailed texture and printed designs.
