Description: | Here, yachts are depicted astern as they sail past the entrance to the Maas, clearly heading towards ?s Gravenzande, which is faintly visible in the right distance. On the left is the ?Charlotte?, identified by the inscription de siarlet. The other vessels on the water are similarly identified: the ?Mary? close ahead (de Marije), then the ?Portsmouth? (de portsmout) on the far left. On the right hand side of the drawing, the ?Katherine? (de katarijn), and the ?Charles? (de siarles) are pictured moving away from the viewer. Additionally, the bows only of both the ?Greyhound? (de grahont) and the ?Anne? (de Anne) may be seen. In the centre distance are the ?Navy? (de navij) and the Dutch escort, the ?Liefde? (de liefde). Both vessels are close-hauled on the port tack.
