Guys, thanks for the 5e Ghosts of Saltmarsh reviews, but all I was looking for was an illustration. I'm all set.

Assuming, of course, the customs guys aren't already on the smugglers' payroll...
I see Saltmarsh as being about halfway between the two images above - a small-ish town with a busy set of docks and piers, with most of the ship traffic being fishboats rather than trading vessels.
Totally.

Following the digression.
I’d point out that in any version of Saltmarsh, you can dock the Sea Ghost. Which is one hundred feet long. It’s a freaking HUGE ship.
Which means you need a one hundred foot or more pier. It’s a pretty substantial port.
Note that the Schley map does not show every home. That’s been widely discussed.

Dock it, or merely anchor off and ferry cargo ashore by smaller boat? (in the 1e version that's how the smugglers operate at the haunted house)
100-foot ships with a keel need a fair bit of draft (water depth) underneath them, meaning unless Saltmarsh has deep-ish water right up to the docks anchoring-off is the only option.

Oh you think it's that easy to escape from the monster you released, huh?

I just went through that book and though I found a few similar images I did not find that image.

It's not official D&D art. The artist is Gregory Manchess. Here is his Behance portfolio: Wild Spirits - Gregory ManchessFound it online, but I still don't know which book it's from. So strange.
EDIT: And here on the Richard Solomon Artists representative LLC website, the filename is listed as "Gregory-Manchess-180-Pirate-Magellan-s-world-by-stuart-waldman-Dock.jpg" ... which leads me to a 2007 book by Stuart Waldman called Magellan's World, which Gregory Manchess illustrated.
So no, you won't find it in any official D&D 5e book.

I plugged it into TinEye. It appears to be an illustration by Gregory Manchess for a book called Magellan's World by Stuart Waldman.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Pukunui!
