This view, taken from the bluff on the south side of Ship Creek, looks northwest across the mouth of the creek at low tide with Cook Inlet visible crossing from left to right where it passes out of sight behind the high bluff forming the north shore of the creek. The northwest shore of the inlet is visible in background. Scattered spruce and birch trees are in immediate foreground but allow extensive view of buildings along the near and far shore of the tidal flat which occupies most of the middle ground. A warehouse, wharfs and other buildings are visible at the low water shore as is the railroad embankment and bridge over the creek. A sailing ship is visible out in the inlet.
