There are several damaged buildings without roofs and destroyed dockside cranes . A bridge crosses a narrow waterway which runs from lower left towards the centre where it enters a large trapezoid shaped water basin. The bridge connects to a spur of land runs from the centre left to the top centre. The spur has three small indented docks on the lower side. There are some further damaged buildings scattered over this area. Several capsized or partially sunk watercraft can be seen throughout including one across the entrance to the narrow waterway and another within this canal. Captioned 'France Dunkirk Docks'.
