Description: | A seascape. On the left in the foreground is a harbour wall, which curves vertically from the centre of the picture up to the horizon lines, then horizontally along. At the end of the wall is a lighthouse, or beacon: there is another identical structure on the opposite side of the picture. There are crowds of people gathered behind the harbour wall, and they are watching the arrival of a full-rigged sailing ship in the very rough seas. Heavy, choppy waves fill the whole of the bottom and right of the picture. Next to the ship is a trawler, which appears to be sailing out to rescue it.
