    A young male worker wearing an orange life vest and work gloves is crouched on a vessel deck, working with heavy rusted chains and a pneumatic or hydraulic tool. The scene involves large corroded buoy-like objects covered in marine growth, suggesting recent retrieval from the ocean. The setting appears to be the deck of a Coast Guard or maritime recovery vessel under clear blue skies.
