Description: | Dramatic seascape depicting men and sailing ships caught in a storm. Five men are stranded on a rocky outcrop in the centre foreground, with two struggling towards a rocky shore to the right. Three men are visible on an overhanging cliff waving frantically; a fourth man scrambles up the side. Behind the three men, a castle turret can be seen to the right. In the left foreground, men cling to the remains of a sinking ship, and further in the distance, more ships struggle as they are tossed upon the choppy sea; to the right of the scene, a mast is all that remains of a ship beneath the water.
