What it shows: US shipyard lies idle amid Jones Act controversy
The scene as painted: A nearly empty shipyard at dusk, with a single crane standing still, its long shadow cast across the deserted yard, a few scattered tools and equipment, and in the distance, a large door of a vacant warehouse, with a faint glow of sunset light peeking through the opening, casting a warm orange tone over the desolate scene.
