    A United States Coast Guard cutter is docked at a port facility with a large stack of burlap-wrapped bales arranged on the pier in the foreground. The bales are bound with colorful rope in yellow, blue, and green, consistent with the appearance of drug interdiction seizures commonly documented in USCG press releases. The vessel displays the distinctive USCG diagonal racing stripe in red and blue on its white hull.
