What it shows: US ship crew costs outpace foreign vessels in Puerto Rico trade
The scene as painted: A containership sails into a sunny Puerto Rico harbor, with a U.S. flag vessel in the foreground and a foreign-flag vessel in the background, crew members busy at work on both ships, as stacks of cargo containers tower on the dock, with a subtle contrast in the number of crew members and the pace of work between the two vessels.
