People cross the bridge to the wharf where a steamship awaits on the Caspian Sea

Ferry at dock in the Caspian Sea with city skyline in background. The wharf sign reads in Cyrillic, "Caucases and Mercury." This was a steamship company based in Astrakhan, Russia. The wharf is elaborate. A large church sits offshore across the sea. In the foreground, horses hitched to flatbed wagons loaded with goods, walk along the road. Several people are crossing the bridge from the shore to the wharf.
