Description

Seascape, with two two-mast sailboats in a stormy sea; positioned centre, the near boat, with mainsail lowered and headsail raised, tows a lifeboat and holds seven crew, one at the tiller and six attending to the rigging; positioned behind to right, the second boat, with both sails raised, holds at least three crew, one at the bow waving towards the harbour wall in the right background; debris floats on the rough sea and birds skim the waves and circle the aft mast of the near boat.
