One metal bookend (of a pair), bookend with a thin vertical section and a base that slopes up from the front towards the back. The base of the bookend is meant to resemble the ocean and has waves in relief extending up from the front of the base. A Viking longboat rests in the waves and extends up onto the flat back of the bookend. At the top of the bookend is a relief of the Spirit of St. Louis flying above the boat. The back of the bookend has curved edges.
