Graffito of a ship, located on the eastern face of Pier A78. It depicts a schematic ship sailing on starboard tack. There is no indication of yards, sails, or mast, and also the rigging is not defined. The hull is rounded and the keel is strongly rockered. At the prow is visible a very schematic rendering of a cheniscus. The stern seems unfinished.
