At the lower centre of the image, one or more, crewmen are taking a breather.
The ship appears to be arriving or sailing from a port, there is a stone breakwater over to the port side.
All derricks are 'topped' (raised) indicating that another port will soon be reached. Conventional cargo ships do not, generally, sail deep sea with the derricks topped.
