Marine Graveyard, Port Arthur

An etching of wrecked and abandoned vessels stranded on a flat, sandy shore. A tall-masted sailing ship dominates the center, its hull tilted among broken timbers, while a steamer and a small boat sit at the edges. Fine hatched lines describe the water, sand, and weathered wood.
