Description:: The camera looks down from the side of a ship (not in frame) and towards a large gathering of spectators standing on the wharf below. A gap between the crowd and the ship extends past the lower right corner. Beyond it, a thick crowd of spectators stand, facing camera. Some tip their hats or wave towards the camera.

Description:: At center, a small boat pulls up alongside the C. A. Larsen. The C. A. Larsen enters frame from the right and its stern stretches back towards center. Atop the roof of the small boat in front, several men appear to help Commander Richard E. Byrd as he boards the sailing whaler. He blends into the side of the ship as he grips onto the stern's handrails. Crew members help him onto the ship and few more crew stand along the rails and watch the scene. At right and on the top deck of the C. A. Larsen, a lifeboat sits. An American flag waves off the back of the stern. The Port of Los Angeles is visible in the background at left.
