In this picture, there are two men; one is a Caucasian man who seems to be the head of a vessel, which is displayed in the background, and the other man is an African American man who seems to be trying to board the ship.  The captain of the ship seems to be slightly distraught, probably because he does not want the other individual to board the vessel.  By looking at the style of clothing and the appearance of the ship, this picture seems to be placed in a time period back when there was still a lot of prejudice.  The following events will probably be of the captain reluctantly allowing the other man to board the ship.
