Graffito of a ship incised on the eastern face of Pier A71. The ship, damaged by a large lacuna in the plaster in the right half, is very schematic, so that it is impossible to discern the prow from the stern. The hull is an elongated ellipse, divided in half vertically by a straight line that continues upward to define the central mast. The sail is rendered as a series of concentric circles concentrated around the top of the mast. No oars or rigging are visible.
