Graffito of a ship, located on the eastern face of Pier A112. It depicts a very schematic representation of a ship sailing on port tack. No mast, yard, sailing, or rigging is visible. The keel is rather flat and tapers upward at the stern and the prow. The bulwark is concave, and a series of three parallel lines indicates the presence of an upper deck. The prow culminates in a short and pointed cheniscus, while the stern does not have any finial.
