Transport by Sea: Maintaining Export Trade
Summary
A battle scene with a large masted sailing ship in centre middle ground under attack. Smoke billows from the right of the ship and there are two large holes in the sail to the left centre of the composition. Smaller rowing boats filled with figures float beside ship to the left and some are rowing close to the dock. There are five figures with guns in the foreground to the right standing on the dock watching the ship. The man on the furthest right is directing a bright torch, which lights the whole scene.
