Watercolor painting on paper depicting Prime Recovery Helicopter-001, 8 December 1972. A Close-up view of the front of helicopter 001 takes up almost the entire right half of the scene. The superstructure of the USS Ticonderoga carrier is farther back on the left. Also on the left is the tail of one helicopter and the entire body of helicopter 004. An orange line runs diagonally on the deck, seeming to separate helicopter 001 from the others. A few small figures are on deck in the background. Handwriting and signatures along the bottom of the scene says: "Lt Max E. Wiley / Apollo 17 Photo Helo Pilot / LTJG John A. March / Apollo 17 Photo Helo Co-Pilot / CDR Ted Daniel / Prime Recovery Pilot / LTJG Dan Mahoney / Recovery Co-Pilot / USS Ticonderoga / Apollo 17."
