This image depicts an indoor scene in Veracruz City, Mexico, featuring a Day of the Dead altar with a prominent nautical theme. The central display, resembling a ship's bow draped in white fabric and labeled "TUXPAN," is positioned against a dark backdrop. It is adorned with multiple lit candles, various offerings, framed photographs, and surrounded by fishing nets. International maritime signal flags are strung above and around the display. At the base of the central display, a ship's wheel, ropes, and decorative elements like small boat shelves containing seashells and starfish are present. A large fishing net extends from the display onto the floor, where a path outlined with orange marigold petals and small white lights forms a distinct shape, incorporating a white, human-silhouette form made of petals or sand. The room has a low ceiling from which additional maritime flags hang. To the left, a light-colored wall and a small table with an unidentified electronic device are visible. The overall lighting is dim, creating a solemn atmosphere. A single individual, partially visible on the far right edge of the frame, is wearing dark attire and holding a small, reflective object.
