A wide, low-angle shot of a classic white-hulled tugboat-style trawler named "Snoose" undergoing spring maintenance in a dry boatyard. The vessel is elevated on wooden blocks and metal jack stands, showcasing a freshly painted reddish-brown bottom hull beneath a thin blue bootstripe. The boat features a traditional raised wheelhouse with multiple forward-facing windows and an anchor mounted on the bow roller. In the background, other large boats on stands sit on the asphalt yard under a clear blue sky, framed by budding spring trees.
