Colorful woodblock print depicting interior scenes of an American steamship. The image is divided into three main sections. The top section shows a deck with people standing in various directions; a covered area on the left and open space on the right. The bottom left section shows men standing on a deck or pier; a large blue-green object dominates the space. The bottom right section shows people sitting and standing inside, on a red floor; there are multiple levels and seating areas. Some people are dressed in Western-style clothing, and others in traditional Japanese attire. The color palette includes beige, blue, red, green, and black. The composition suggests a cross-section or cutaway view. The setting contrasts Western and Japanese architectural elements and cultural practices.
