'Headland with Two Three-Masters' is painted on the opposite side of this work. Only 40 feet above sea level, the original Longships lighthouse was often obscured by rough seas or fog and several ships sank on the rocks despite its presence. Wallis's grave has a ceramic-tiled headstone by the potter Bernard Leach that features a lighthouse.
