Windswept seascape with large men of war vessels battling the wind upon a choppy sea. Between the two centre sailing ships, a small rowing boat contains four figures, one rowing and one standing gesturing towards a barrel in the bottom left corner. More sailing boats are visible in the distance and a jetty leads into the choppy sea in the background to the left. The sky is blue with dark stormy clouds.
