Graffito of a ship, located on the eastern face of Pier A102. The stylized ship, sailing on starboard tack, has an exaggeratedly raised stern culminating in a flat and wide aplustre. The prow is poorly preserved, but it seems to be very thin and pointed at the top. The keel is strongly rockered, and the bulwark has a crescent shape. The central mast is rendered in a broken and curved line. At its top are two parallel yards, the upper one shorter than the lower one, both made of single diagonal lines. The sail, triangular in shape, is partially lowered, and it is connected to the yard via two ropes. No oars or rudders are visible.
